Competition and food security
In this note several issues about competition in food and agricultural markets and how likely it will impact on food security outcomes are discussed. Specifically: (i) the range of concerns associated with competition in food and agricultural markets and how they may apply in developing countries; (ii) evidence on how substantive the losses due to lack of competition may be and how competition may impact on the effectiveness of other government policies that may be focused on food security issu es; and (iii) how competition and market structure may specifically impact on price-related food security metrics associated with price shocks and price volatility. It concludes with summarizing the key concerns and the insights from recent research.
