MENA Country Typology and Level of Food Insecurity Resource-Poor Labor Abundant Resource-Rich Labor Abundant Resource-Rich Labor Importing Comoros Yemen Libya Djibouti Syria1 Bahrain Mauritania Algeria Kuwait Somalia Sudan Oman West Bank and Gaza Iran Qatar Egypt Iraq2 Saudi Arabia Jordan United Arab Emirates Lebanon Morocco Tunisia Israel* Acute Food Insecurity Moderate Food Insecurity Low Food Insecurity Food Security is measured as total exports divided by food imports and food production per capita. Low Risk is defined as having one or both measure above global average. Moderate risk is defined as having one or both below global average. Acute risk is defined as one or both measures less than 50% the global average. 1 Syria’s food insecurity is acute due to the current civil war 2 Data not available Source: CGGC based on data from world Bank Development Indicators and Breisinger et al, 2010 6

SOURCE: FAO, total tonnage of wheat exported Algeria has imported 16.6% of MENA’s wheat since 2007 Different regions within MENA rely on different countries as their leading source of imported wheat. Depending on the country, these rela7onships have persisted since 2007 Morocco has imported 9.3% of MENA’s wheat since 2007 Egypt has imported 25.9% of MENA’s wheat since 2007 France Russia Australia No s7ckiness Libya Syria Mauritania Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq Wheat Procurement Across MENA 7

The GVC Approach Top down – the global economy with a focus on lead firms and inter-‐firm networks, using varied typologies of industrial “governance” Boom up – a focus on countries and regions, which are analyzed in terms of various trajectories of economic and social “upgrading” or “downgrading” 9
