The paper evaluates the level of competition on the vegetable market. Based on the analysis of the production development trends and resource potential, dynamics and ratio of export and import of agricultural products, including vegetables are presented; dynamics of self-sufficiency ratio of these products is studied; challenges of food security and competitive advantages of Georgian vegetables are identified.The article concludes that the country has a significant potential for exporting vegetables both to the countries of Europe and Middle East. The paper discusses the factors that hinder export of vegetables; in addition, the ways for reducing dependency on seasonality, opportunities for the development of modern greenhouses and mechanisms for supplying goods to customers all year round are suggested.On the basis of analyzing the level of competition on the vegetable market, vegetable business is considered as monopolistic. In addition, it is calculated that, currently, local vegetables products account for only 75% of the market.The paper evaluates the outcomes of high market power caused by monopoly in vegetable business; the impact of market power on pricing mechanism and the welfare of population is determined. In accordance with the problems identified, conclusions are made and recommendations for solving these problems are suggested.

The large territorial extent of our country has formed a certain resource potential for each region, which depends on the geographical, natural and climatic conditions, as well as the competitive advantages of the territory. The purpose of the research was to assess the degree of influence of the use of the resource potential of the territory on its food security in order to predict possible consequences when one of the determinants changes. The availability and use of production resources in the agricultural sector of the economics in the Kurgan region has been analyzed in the article. The evaluation of food security of the territory is based on the use of a set of indicators that reflect the physical and economics availability of food, the sufficiency and quality of consumption. Agricultural production had been increased by more than 30 % during the analyzed period, and the inflationary factor should be taken into account in this growth. With the existing programs to support agricultural producers there is no significant growth in the number of cattle and the area of crops in the region. According to the threshold values of the level of food self-sufficiency laid down by the Food Security Doctrine of the Russian Federation the current state of agriculture in the Kurgan region cannot meet the region’s demand for meat and meat products. In 2019 the level of food independence for grain was 174,4 %, and for potatoes – 105,8 %, which indicates the feasibility of exporting these types of agricultural products to other regions of Russia. The annual grain export potential in the Kurgan region is estimated in the range from 0,6 to 1 million tons of grain. The conclusions made allow us to assess the degree of correlation between the resource potential of the region and the level of food security, and to develop recommendations for improving food self-sufficiency.

The article assesses the food security of municipalities in the Volgograd region based on indicators of self-sufficiency in agricultural products. It was proposed to adapt the methodology for calculating self-sufficiency indicators, replacing indicators of consumption of basic products in municipalities that are not publicly available with indicators of necessary production volumes in accordance with rational norms. This makes it possible to better assess the extent to which municipalities are able to provide the population with basic food supplies, as well as to identify bottlenecks in order to develop proposals to address them. The highest self-sufficiency ratios for the main types of products was noted in the municipalities of the North-Western agricultural region with most favourable conditions for agricultural activities and, conversely, the lowest figures are typical for agricultural Zavolzhsky area – with the less favourable agricultural conditions.

The study focuses on analyzing the food self-sufficiency village program at household level in Indonesia. The before and after analysis and food and security composite analysis at household level are used as tools. It involved comparing the implication and impact between indicators before and after the implementation of policy. Quantitative data were used to compare major indicators and qualitative data for minor indicators. In general, the impact of the DMP Programme on the villages was positive. The level of poverty in each village has been significantly reduced by 8-40% after the introduction of the programme. Composite food security analysis at household level shows the positive impacts of DMP Programme implementation. This is shown by several indicators, including the rise of 4-7% availability, reduction in poverty by 8-40%, and decrease in people working fewer than 15 hours per week by 10-20%.

Abstract. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has the largest water deficit in the world. It also has the least food self-sufficiency. Increasing food imports and decreasing domestic food production can contribute to water savings and hence to increased water security. However, increased domestic food production is a better way to achieve food security, even if irrigation demands an increase in accordance with projected climate changes. Accordingly, the trade-off between food security and the savings of water and land through food trade is considered to be a significant factor for resource management, especially in the MENA region. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze the impact of food trade on food security and water–land savings in the MENA region. We concluded that the MENA region saved significant amounts of national water and land based on the import of four major crops, namely, barley, maize, rice, and wheat, within the period from 2000 to 2012, even if the food self-sufficiency is still at a low level. For example, Egypt imported 8.3 million t yr−1 of wheat that led to 7.5 billion m3 of irrigation water and 1.3 million ha of land savings. In addition, we estimated the virtual water trade (VWT) that refers to the trade of water embedded in food products and analyzed the structure of VWT in the MENA region using degree and eigenvector centralities. The study revealed that the MENA region focused more on increasing the volume of virtual water imported during the period 2006–2012, yet little attention was paid to the expansion of connections with country exporters based on the VWT network analysis.

Abstract The agri-food market is one of the strategic ones, since it ensures the food security of the country’s population. A significant aspect in the implementation of the new Doctrine of food security are products containing animal protein, including meat. Poultry farming has significant competitive advantages over other subsectors of animal husbandry in terms of investment attractiveness, purchasing opportunities for poultry meat and its processed products, dietary properties, and is also a product for all religious denominations. Analysis of the market potential of poultry meat in Russia in comparison with global trends showed the existence of unfilled niches both in the domestic and foreign markets. The main ones are the insufficient self-sufficiency of certain regions of the country with this product, the norms of poultry meat consumption in comparison with the leading countries, the low level of deep processing in most economic entities, the low share of meat from other types of poultry, almost absence of organic products on the market, and insignificant export volumes of poultry meat. Along with this, through a SWOT-analysis, the strengths and weaknesses of the industry, its threats and potential opportunities, as well as their combination, which is advisable to take into account when developing a strategy to improve the efficiency of the industry, have been identified. Taking into account the obtained results, a scheme for expanding the market potential of poultry meat is proposed, and its forecast for 2030 is given. The combination of these developments will allow the industry to increase the economic viability of its economic entities and expand the market potential of the target poultry meat market.

The Impact

This article examines the effects of the embargo (blockade) imposed on Qatar in June 2017 by four countries: Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Bahrain. Using highly disaggregated product-destination quarterly trade datasets provided by the Qatar General Authority of Customs, we find a significant decline in Qatar’s aggregate imports and consumer welfare (with an increase in the prices of imported goods) in the short run, but not thereafter. Political relations with non-besieging countries seem to be associated with Qatar’s bilateral trade after the blockade, particularly in the first quarter. Shortly after the blockade, countries opposing the blockade experienced a sizable growth in exports to Qatar. In the medium to long run, Qatar succeeded in mitigating the impact of the blockade by diversifying its import origins and adopting new reforms to stabilize the economy and enhance the country’s food security and self-sufficiency.
