All countries of the world do not produce as much agricultural goods as they consume, specifically food items. What can happen with such countries if due to any reason, surplus agricultural goods producing countries stop the supply of their products to them. Argument based answer would be helpful to understand the issue under consideration.
They reduce food availability, disrupt access to food and health care, and undermine social protection systems, pushing many affected people back into poverty and hunger, fulling distress migration and increasing the need for humanitarian aid.
Withdrawing food resources from the marketplace has already happened. The production of ethanol is useful for reducing emission in gas powered vehicles but the mandate of corn for alcohol can drive food price up significantly especially since animal feeds have a large maize component. Emphasis on global economy can result is sufficiency issues for the less wealthy countries which are generally in tropical climates.
Thanks Paul Reed Hepperly for providing valuable information about the subject.
The non-agricultural countries will start to grow their own food, it may not be an agricultural product but they will figure out it.
Saswatik Tripathy but many agricultural countries don't have too much arable land.
This will adversely effect the welfare of both the countries. Initially, non- agricultural producing countries will be badly effected but subsequently, producing countries will be at loss in long run
Thanks Anil Kumar Dixit for your valuable views but which group can survive long. Can industrial countries feed their people using their industrial products?
We need to view the world in the wake of present situation also.
Non agricultural countries will have to develop the technique of agriculture. They will utilize their money on developing the agricultural activity.
Thanks Ganesh Jadhav for your valuable views.
Most important requirement of agriculture is arable land with appropriate environmental conditions but unfortunately many countries including several industrial countries have very limited such kind of land.
Thank you for this question, I think a human being is survival, and can develop methods to provide his needs, Otherwise, why did he live in this place for the first time if the means to live in it were non-existent.
Thanks Atheer Salih Mahdi for your valuable views.
Number of humans is too much and circumstances are different now.
Thanks Ahmed Hamdan Lafta for your valuable response.
As a matter of fact, to develop permanent and large scale agriculture, arable land with appropriate soils and suitable climate is the most basic requirement which some countries don't have. What can happen with them?
The non-agricultural countries will suffer from starvation in the long run.
