The U.S. #longshoremenstrike has officially begun, posing significant risks to agricultural trade, especially for developing countries reliant on U.S. agricultural exports through East and Gulf Coast ports. In our new #issuepost, Joe Glauber explains that the #strike threatens to disrupt imports and exports, with containerized agricultural goods being most affected. Developing countries dependent on U.S. agricultural exports—particularly meat, dairy, and poultry—might need to seek alternative suppliers if the strike is prolonged. The severity of the disruption will depend on the strike’s duration and the extent to which shipping routes can be rerouted.

I’m excited to be attending the #FragileLives2024 conference at Humboldt University of Berlin. It's been an insightful event where key speakers like Christine Toetzke (Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development), Deike Potzel (German Federal Foreign Office), and Tilman Brück (Humboldt University, IGZ, ISDC - International Security and Development Center) emphasized the importance of evidence-based policies and reliable data in driving effective interventions in fragile contexts. In our efforts to address fragility, conflict, and migration, the value of data-driven approaches cannot be overstated. These insights reinforce the importance of our collective work at International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and in broader global collaborations. Looking forward to further discussions and actions that will enhance resilience in the most vulnerable regions. #FragileLives2024 #FragilityAndConflict #Sudan #EvidenceBasedPolicy #DataDrivenInterventions #ResilienceBuilding

Discount vouchers and subsidies are popular, evidence–backed mechanisms for reducing consumer prices and promoting demand—and in particular, expanding the use of quality inputs and other agricultural technologies among smallholder farmers. This recent blog by Mulubrhan Amare, Kate Ambler, Temilolu Bamiwuye, Jeffrey Bloem, Rewa Misra, and Julia Wagner looks at preliminary results from an ongoing randomized controlled trial in northeastern Nigeria investigating how providing discount vouchers affects both take-up rates and the timing of these purchases: https://lnkd.in/eD47qXZP CGIAR IFPRI Africa

To better understand the complexities of coffee production in Papua New Guinea, IFPRI collaborated with the University of Goroka’s Center for Social and Creative Media Division (CSCM) to conduct gender-differentiated focus group discussions with coffee farmers across Simbu and Eastern Highland Provinces. Through discussions with men and women farmers, researchers learned about their perspectives on coffee production, including input use, pest control, weather shocks, labor, market access, and sales volume.

September 29 is the United Nations International Day of Awareness on Food Loss and Waste. This International Day highlights the critical need for financing to bolster efforts to reduce food loss and waste, contribute to achieving climate goals and advancing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Our recent blog by Suresh Babu, Yogendra Karki, Innocent PANGAPANGA-PHIRI, Md Sadat Anowar, and Nandita Srivastava examined national consultations on reducing food loss and waste in #Bangladesh, #Malawi and #Nepal. The authors found that reducing food loss and managing food waste should not be viewed in isolation—these efforts provide a unique opportunity to confront challenges of food system transformation and to take actions needed to reduce GHGs and address climate change: https://lnkd.in/etUz5EeK Read more IFPRI publications on food loss and waste below: 🫘Quantifying food losses in the beans value chain in Rwanda: https://lnkd.in/ei2gGenD 🍽️The economywide effects of reducing food loss and waste in developing countries: https://lnkd.in/e5MQa_Vx 📽️Webinar: Reducing Food Loss and Waste: https://lnkd.in/eQzPfRcz 🔎Food losses in agrifood systems: What we know: https://lnkd.in/eZ2VXpVD CGIAR IFPRI-Bangladesh IFPRI Africa IFPRI South Asia

Sustainable agricultural practices are imperative for maintaining or improving soil quality and ensuring food security. Monitoring sustainable production requires reliable and accurate data to understand the effects of different agronomic practices on soil quality. This new article by Asjad Tariq Sheikh, Atakelty Hailu, Amin Mugera, Ram Pandit, and Stephen Davies describes the construction of the Luenberger soil quality indicator (SQI) using data on crop yield, non-soil inputs, and soil profile from three irrigated agroecological zones of Punjab, #Pakistan, namely, rice–wheat, maize–wheat–mix, and cotton–mix zones.
