Trade is key for sustainable
food security and nutrition
 Trade can contribute to
• Food security
• Improving nutrition through diversification of food
baskets, producers, and suppliers
• Increasing productivity and sustainability by
facilitating diffusion of technology and innovation
• Giving poor farmers access to high value markets
• Stronger value chains, mitigating conflict, and to
higher quality and quantities of goods and services

 Trade liberalization is increasingly about
other policies than traditional tariffs etc
 Complex interaction of trade (policies)
and environment / climate change

Africa regional trade is growing rapidly
but still relatively low in global perspective
 BUT ! Significant
regional trade may
go unrecorded.
Refined indicators
suggest that intra-
African trade may
be higher than
reported
(Bouet, Cosnard, and Laborde 2017)
Johan Swinnen, January 2020 Source: Africa Agriculture Trade Monitor 2019
Intra-regional trade as share of total agricultural trade 2000-2013
Johan Swinnen, March 2020
Factors affecting regional trade
1. Tariff levels within RECs are
relatively low
 But: overlapping membership complicates
harmonization and coordination within
RECs
2. Deficient trade infrastructure
3. Costly non-tariff measures
 Safeguards, SPS standards, technical
barriers to trade (TBTs), IP measures,
rules of origin, etc.

to intra-African trade integration
Johan Swinnen, March 2020
Unlocking potential for intra-regional trade expansion
 Invest in transport and communications infrastructure
 Address non-tariff measures (NTMs) with increased technical assistance
and more transparency
 Simplify SPS standards and rules of origin
 Advance promising integration initiatives
 Free Trade Areas: COMESA, SADC, EAC, etc
 ECOWAS-North Africa initiative
 Africa Continental Free Trade Area: Could soften impact of global trade
conflicts on African economies

Trade, climate

Johan Swinnen, March 2020
Climate change impacts vary widely – by crop,
region, and emissions scenario
Change in potential average yields for corn, potatoes, rice, and wheat in 2050
Source: National Geographic, based on IFPRI analysis
Johan Swinnen, March 2020
Trade is crucial for climate adaptation and mitigation
 Climate-induced yield changes
generate large price movements and
adjustments in acreage and trade
 Poorer countries likely to bear
larger share of costs from climate
impact on agriculture
• Net food importers (Asia, MENA)
• Limited adaptation through trade due
to high trade costs and specialization
in crops with little trade (SSA)
Source: Gouel and Laborde 2018
 Market adaptations rely significantly on an international trade system
allowing large reallocations of trade flows
Johan Swinnen, March 2020
Agricultural and trade policies affect climate change
But, again, the impact is complex
 Emissions from agriculture and land use change have contributed up to a
third of total GHG emissions – but with large commodity differences

IFPRI research shows heterogenous impacts of
trade liberalization and agricultural policy reform
Johan Swinnen, March 2020
Support policy reforms for sustainable food systems
 Decoupling agricultural subsidies is good for
both markets and the environment
 Design policies to address challenges or
externalities associated with trade by targeting
policy to the immediate source of the problem
 Address environmental impacts with resource
management policies, rather than limiting trade, to
address overexploitation of resources and biodiversity
loss
 Support trade opening with active policies and
strong institutions for cooperation and
coordination

Studies show that:
• Value chain innovations can contribute importantly to farmers’ access to
finance and inputs and to technology transfer
• Smallholder integration is mixed
• Contract enforcement problems are very serious
• Organization of the value chain is endogenous
o to market imperfections
o to enforcement institutions
oto nature of the commodity (incl standards)
o to nature of the technology
• Benefits for the poor can come through 3 channels:
o Access to inputs and markets
o Efficiency premia for poor suppliers
o Employment opportunities for poor households

What about
domestic VC & staple foods ?
• Tom Reardon, Chris Barrett: “In developing

• In poor countries (eg SSA and India), value chain
innovations seem initially concentrated in high-
value VC
• But things are changing …

Future potential of VCD
for poverty reduction
• Private sector:
o strongest growth in high value sectors (with innovation requirements and
potential)
o Many of the models observed in East Europe in the 1990s are now developing in
higher vl poorer countries, such as SSA
• Public/Private/NGO sector
o Much of the CSR & NGO programs include VC-type elements
o How can one make VCD work in staple food markets ? (80-90% of poor
countries’ agriculture)
Example:
VCD model for SSA food staple sourcing
• Special purpose vehicle
(SPV) to source staple
foods by WFP in East
Africa
• Joint project with World
Bank, input supplying
companies and re-
insurance companies

CASE : Certification in coffee in Ethiopia
Study by Bart Minten and
colleagues from IFPRI &
LICOS (Bart Minten,
Mekdim Dereje
Ermias Engida
Seneshaw Tamru )

VSS Certification in Coffee
Globally:
• VSS rapidly taking off (4%
in 2005, now 20%)
• Coffee leading agricultural
commodity in VSS
In Ethiopia:
• VSS low and slow
• Coffee most important
export product : 25% of its
forex earnings
• 4 million coffee farmers

Ethiopia World
Why low uptake of VSS certification ?
• Transmission of VSS premium to farmer =
30%
• Average coffee farmer in Ethiopia, if all coffee
certified: income increase with 7.5 USD (per
year !)
oWith 100% premium transmission, increase of 20
USD per year…
• Impact of certification on coffee producers’
welfare is small.
• Combined with implementation costs : low
adoption of Fair Trade in Ethiopia

Increased Attention to Food Systems
UN Food Systems Summit 2021
Mobilizing commitment to create
systems that are:
 Climate resilient
 Sustainable
 Inclusive
What are Food Systems?
 Food systems collect “all the elements (environment, people,
inputs, processes, infrastructures, institutions, etc.) and activities
that relate to the production, processing, distribution, preparation
and consumption of food, and the output of these activities,
including socio-economic and environmental outcomes” – HLPE
2017
 Ideal food systems are nutrition-, health-, and safety-driven,
productive and efficient (and thus able to deliver affordable food),
environmentally sustainable and climate-smart, and inclusive.
What are the benefits of creating inclusive food
systems?
 Better integrating marginalized people into national food systems
achieves inclusive economic growth.
 Increasing household incomes reduces absolute poverty and
improves access to service.
 Inclusive food systems can break the intergenerational cycle of
poverty, hunger, and malnutrition.
 Inclusion can help reduce global and national inequalities.
 Inclusion is a moral imperative!

  • 28. Johan Swinnen, March 2020 Trade is crucial for climate adaptation and mitigation  Climate-induced yield changes generate large price movements and adjustments in acreage and trade  Poorer countries likely to bear larger share of costs from climate impact on agriculture • Net food importers (Asia, MENA) • Limited adaptation through trade due to high trade costs and specialization in crops with little trade (SSA) Source: Gouel and Laborde 2018  Market adaptations rely significantly on an international trade system allowing large reallocations of trade flows

  • 32. Johan Swinnen, March 2020 Support policy reforms for sustainable food systems  Decoupling agricultural subsidies is good for both markets and the environment  Design policies to address challenges or externalities associated with trade by targeting policy to the immediate source of the problem  Address environmental impacts with resource management policies, rather than limiting trade, to address overexploitation of resources and biodiversity loss  Support trade opening with active policies and strong institutions for cooperation and coordination Photo: CIAT Source: Martin and Laborde 2018

Future potential of VCD for poverty reduction • Private sector: o strongest growth in high value sectors (with innovation requirements and potential) o Many of the models observed in East Europe in the 1990s are now developing in higher vl poorer countries, such as SSA • Public/Private/NGO sector o Much of the CSR & NGO programs include VC-type elements o How can one make VCD work in staple food markets ? (80-90% of poor countries’ agriculture)

  • 67. VSS Certification in Coffee Globally: • VSS rapidly taking off (4% in 2005, now 20%) • Coffee leading agricultural commodity in VSS In Ethiopia: • VSS low and slow • Coffee most important export product : 25% of its forex earnings • 4 million coffee farmers 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 2005 2010 2015 % Ethiopia World
  • 68. Why low uptake of VSS certification ? • Transmission of VSS premium to farmer = 30% • Average coffee farmer in Ethiopia, if all coffee certified: income increase with 7.5 USD (per year !) oWith 100% premium transmission, increase of 20 USD per year… • Impact of certification on coffee producers’ welfare is small. • Combined with implementation costs : low adoption of Fair Trade in Ethiopia

  • 72. Increased Attention to Food Systems UN Food Systems Summit 2021 Mobilizing commitment to create systems that are:  Climate resilient  Sustainable  Inclusive
  • 73. What are Food Systems?  Food systems collect “all the elements (environment, people, inputs, processes, infrastructures, institutions, etc.) and activities that relate to the production, processing, distribution, preparation and consumption of food, and the output of these activities, including socio-economic and environmental outcomes” – HLPE 2017  Ideal food systems are nutrition-, health-, and safety-driven, productive and efficient (and thus able to deliver affordable food), environmentally sustainable and climate-smart, and inclusive.
  • 74. What are the benefits of creating inclusive food systems?  Better integrating marginalized people into national food systems achieves inclusive economic growth.  Increasing household incomes reduces absolute poverty and improves access to service.  Inclusive food systems can break the intergenerational cycle of poverty, hunger, and malnutrition.  Inclusion can help reduce global and national inequalities.  Inclusion is a moral imperative!
