5 Basic facts of world cereal situation (million tonnes, rice in milled terms) 1 Data refer to calendar year of the first year shown. 2 For wheat and coarse grains, trade refers to exports based on July/June marketing season. For rice, trade refers to exports based on calendar year of the second year shown. 3 Data are based on an aggregate of carryovers level at the end of national crop years and, therefore, do not represent world stock levels at any point in time.

29 Long-term challenges of hunger reduction in the region  Increasing food production to meet needs of a growing, affluent and ageing population, which will increase from 4.2 billion in 2010 to 5.3 billion in 2050  Achieving broadly-based, inclusive economic growth  Establishing sustainable targeted safety nets for the poor and vulnerable groups  Addressing competition between food and biofuel needs  Success in adaptation to and mitigation of climate change in agriculture  Coping with water scarcity  Dealing with commercialization and globalization of markets  Ensuring food safety

30 Key actions to address persistent & growing hunger in the region Increase investment to sustain productivity growth Empower small producers and women farmers Increase access to food, not just supply by increasing incomes on agriculture and in other sector Strengthen farm & non-farm sector linkages Improve ability to respond to new pressures and uncertainties
