Saudi Arabia is increasing its soybean and corn imports from Brazil by 150 percent against the backdrop of a drought in the US and reduced exports by Argentina.

Egypt increases imports of these items from Brazil by over 900 percent!

About me

My name is Eckart Woertz, I am a senior researcher at the Barcelona Centre for International Affairs (CIDOB) and on this site you find topical information about Middle East food security, Gulf agro-investments and the impact of the global food crisis on the region. This website is meant to provide updated information around and beyond my book Oil for Food (Oxford 2013). Other research interests of mine include energy and financial issues in the Gulf region and the Middle East at large.
