- Abstract
- The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effects of food import and source
diversification on the stability of food price. The paper shows that high import reliance is
helpful to reduce the price variability for banana, pineapple, tomato, spice, poultry meat,
wine, maize, and bovine meat, whereas there are some exceptions like cabbage. This means
that self-sufficiency for most of the foods is not good for the stability of price.
As for diversification of food import source, diversification is helpful to reduce the
variability of import price for banana, pineapple, tomato, spice, poultry meat, wine, apple,
grape, orange, tea, pig meat, tobacco, and cabbage. In addition, a country should diversify
more its import source in order to stabilize import price when it is importing food from
developing countries than when it is importing from developed ones. This is probably
because developed countries, with better infrastructure for agriculture, can maintain more
stable production and price.
