Food outlook brightens for poorer countries
The USDA ERS reports low income nations in Asia Africa and Latin America may raise cereal output by about 7 percent to 254 million tons by next July. If crops grow as forecast, their cereal imports could dip below current levels, with about 32 million tons in commercial imports and aid needed to maintain recent intake. Some regions face higher needs due to recessions and weak commodity prices, while others like Jordan Indonesia Pakistan Syria and Tunisia may secure enough foreign exchange to cover food needs.
