阿拉伯国家粮食安全问题探究

Probing into the Food Security Issues in the Arabian Countries

阿拉伯国家主要分布在西亚北非地区,其地理特征基本体现为沙漠和丘陵,气候炎热,不适宜农作物生长,可耕地仅占这些国家国土总面积的5.1%。,但农业仍是多数阿拉伯国家国民经济的重要产业,阿拉伯国家总人口中多半为农业人口。另外,该地区水资源奇缺,加上常年战乱不断,严重影响了各国农业的发展,自产粮食远远不能满足当地人的需求,每年要进口大量的粮食和食品。尤其是当今世界出现粮食危机,粮食食品价格飞涨,使本来就遭遇粮食困难的阿拉伯国家雪上加霜。它们解决粮食危机的出路是:控制人口增长,提高生活水平;重视农业发展,加强团结协作;创造投资环境,吸引外资;建立海外产粮基地;发展先进技术,增强环境保护意识。

As located in West Asia and North Africa,full of desert and hills and hot climate,it is not so suitable for crops to be grown in the Arabian countries there,and the arable land is only 5.1% of these countries' total land area. However,agriculture is still the important sector of the national economies of most of the Arabian countries,with more than half of the population engaged in agricultural activities. Further more,water resource is seriously lacked in this area and wars have been going on year after year,which have impacted much negatively on the agricultural production of the countries,with the local food far from meeting demand and a great deal are imported annually. The current food crisis in the world makes the food price going high,which has placed the Arabian countries in a more difficult position. The way out in solving the food crisis should be:to control the growth of population and raise the people's living level; to stress agricultural development and strengthen collaboration; to create friendly investment environment and attract foreign investment; to establish oversea food bases; to develop advanced technologies and enhance the sense of environmental protection.
