Synergies and trade-offs between agricultural export promotion and food security: Evidence from African economies

Against the background of worldwide trade disruptions and climate change impacts, the 2023 Africa Agriculture Trade Monitor explores recent trends and patterns in Africa’s global and regional agricultural trade.
Cotton production and trade have a long history and important role in Africa, dating back centuries before the colonial period.
One of the main features of today’s global trade system is the proliferation of regional trade agreements (RTAs).1 Over the past four decades, the number of agreements increased from just 15 in 1980 to 583 in 2023 (WTO 2023).

The economy-wide impact of Sudan’s ongoing conflict: Implications on economic activity, agrifood system and poverty
The armed conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan entered its sixth month since it erupted on April 15th, 2023, with no signs of ending soon.

Much of the early attention to the Russia-Ukraine conflict’s food security impacts has been concentrated on countries highly dependent on wheat imports from the Black Sea region.
Because of its dependence on food imports, Egypt is particularly vulnerable to the high world food prices and trade shocks triggered by Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
Food security in West Africa has been deteriorating since 2015: The proportion of the population affected by undernutrition rose from 11.5% in 2015 to 18.7% in 2020, a total of 75.2 million people.
