This paper discusses the trade-related challenges that poor net-food-importing countries face. These countries have had to contend with high and volatile prices for agricultural commodities, including for basic foodstuffs, and a new trade policy environment including more widespread application of measures such as agricultural export restrictions and biofuel subsidies. The paper assesses the extent to which existing mechanisms have proved adequate to tackle these challenges, and, if not, how they should be reformed.
