Agricultural commodities are aggregated to nine subsectors which are the following: wheat, rice, coarse grains, ovine and bovine meat, dairy products, other animal products (pork, poultry, eggs and fish) , protein feed (both of crops and animal origin)

A third indicator, food requirement is taken from calculations jointly established by FAO, the World Bank and the World Health Organization. The nutritional intake is calculated in form of calories and protein intake and based on the per capita consumption of food in a given country.

The BES results indicate the number of hungry people to have peaked in the early 1980s and a steady decline from then on. Although the number of hungry persons remains disappointingly high, only relatively small quantities of additional food are required to raise the level of the nutritional status of all people to the accepted minimum.

These increases in relative world market prices of agricultural commodities are transmitted onto the domestic markets. That stimulates agricultural output in LDCs but not necessarily the income of the entire economy, to an extent to offset the reduction in purchasing power due to higher food prices.

The income increase is not strong enough to offset the rise in food prices and hence the decline in food consumption. In Nigeria, total value added goes up only when OECD countries alone liberalize, but not when the country itself participates.

From page 96... ...
The A-Bop scenario affects food consumption immediately since the marginal expenditure propensities of the recipient countries apply to balance of payments changes in the same way as to domestically-generated income. As can be seen from Table 3, the two scenarios provide a much stronger reduction of hunger in LDCs than the free trade scenarios discussed earlier.
