Food Security in the Sahel: Variable Import Levy, Grain Reserves, and Foreign Exchange Assistance

摘要

It argues that increased storage of grain reserves would be expensive, and in most cases, not as effective as measures to liberalize trade or the establishment of a food insurance or compensatory financing scheme.
