摘要：Over the next decade, average per capita food consumption
throughout North Africa is projected to remain above nutritional
requirements. However, a relatively small food gap to
maintain per capita consumption (2 percent, or about 1.2
million tons) is projected in the region by 2009, primarily in
Algeria and to a lesser extent Egypt. Algeria¡¯s problems are
more political, which has affected the performance of all
sectors of the economy. Egyptian grain production growth is
expected to slow from a very high rate (5 percent) in the
historical period (1980-98). Such productivity gains result
from improved seeds and area expansion and are not likely
to be sustained. Between 1980 and 1997, North Africa was
the most import-dependent region in this study, with imports
contributing 44 percent of food supply, on average. This
trend is projected to continue during the next decade.
