Information

IFPRI Senior Research Fellow Joe Glauber is participating in a CSIS webinar where experts will share their perspectives on the role of governments and industry in averting another global food price crisis.

Despite strong agricultural productivity and ample grain stocks worldwide, numerous countries have applied food export restrictions for fear that supplies will run short during the Covid-19 pandemic. As of today, nearly 20 countries have instituted food export restrictions; the number grows daily.  The Covid-19 pandemic is a starkly different context than 2007-2008, but today’s export restrictions force the question: Are we heading toward another global food price crisis?
