Import market for Rice in Turkiye (6월, 2022)

A study by the University of California, Davis, has highlighted the vulnerabilities of the global food supply chain, with a focus on wheat trade, in the context of supply chain disruptions and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The research reveals that many countries rely heavily on international trade to meet their food needs, with the global wheat trade being concentrated in a few key countries. The study's authors, from UC Davis and the International Food Policy Research Institute, call for the prioritization of regional and local food systems to better address shortfalls and disruptions in the globalized food system. The research underscores the potential global repercussions of disruptions in countries crucial to the wheat supply chain and discusses the broader implications of food security and the role of historical trade patterns.
