Adil Jouamaa and Ait El Mekki investigate how cereal price volatility impacts import bill, tax revenue and foreign exchange reserves in Morocco. Results show that price volatility should be heavier on the import bill when the annual production is low. They indicate that cereals price volatility can induce serious consequences because it directly causes an increase in the overall import bill and indirectly influences import tax revenues and foreign exchange reserves, especially when it is associated with a poor domestic harvest.

relatively inefficient and unable to keep up with large tenants in the level of their rental offer.
Zarif Moradian et al. analyze households’ resilience against food insecurity in Iran. The results showed that the components of asset and adaptive capacity had a significant role in increasing the resilience of rural households in the study area.

The households head and other members’ education also had a significant positive effect in improving the adaptive capacity pillar.
