E. Lemaitre-Curri ; D. Gasc ; G. Manfron | Montpellier [France] : CIHEAM-IAMM | MED-Amin Bulletin | 2023The start into the 2023 cereal campaign was mainly influenced by dry conditions with uneven impacts across the Mediterranean region. In Northern and Eastern Mediterranean, despite relatively dry conditions in January and February 2023, crops are[...]Article
S. Zingale ; P. Guarnaccia ; A. Matarazzo ; G. Lagioia ; C. Ingrao |It is recognised today that the global food system does not always deliver good nutrition for all human beings, and, additionally, dramatically contributes to climate change, environmental degradation, and biodiversity loss. In particular, the c[...]Article
F. Chemak ; H. Mazhoud ; Z. Rached ; A. Gara ; R. Rahmeni ; H. Ghannem |In Tunisia, the development of the irrigated cereal sector plays a key role in the mitigation of the fluctuation of the rainfed production and to ensure a minimum of production. However, the archived yields remain under the expected potential pe[...]Article
Irrigated durum wheat is a staple food crop that occupies important areas in Tunisia. However, its performance remains weak, with an average national yield of no more than 7 tons ha−1 and low profitability. Overall, on-farm wheat productio[...]Article
Durum wheat is grown globally on 13.5 million ha in 2020/2021, which amounts to 6.2% of the wheat area. It is assumed that in the past it was more important, but the extent of that importance is unknown. In this work, a historical estimation of [...]Article
Lobjectif de cette étude est de mettre en lumière empiriquement les enjeux de la dépendance de la filière de blé en Algérie vis-à-vis du marché extérieur, en utilisant des techniques de séries temporelles et de prédiction. Létude investigue le[...]Article
