The results also suggest that the participation in international food trade has positive effects on low-income countries’ aggregate food availability and food access, two pillars of food security. ![]() In general, macronutrients embedded in animal and processed products are more expensive than those in vegetal and unprocessed food. Proteins were found to be the most expensive macronutrient, followed by lipids and carbohydrates. The data show that, over the 1996–2014 period, the volume of macronutrients exchanged on international markets has more than doubled, with carbohydrates accounting for over 60% of trade flows, but proteins and lipids growing at a faster pace. Furthermore, the study provides estimates of the implicit price of each macronutrient, their evolution over time, and their implications in terms of North-South food trade. By describing food trade in terms of the quantities of three essential macronutrients (carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins) embedded in food, the analysis goes beyond a simple description of trade values, quantities, or caloric content, as is common in the literature. ![]() This study examines global food trade from a nutritional perspective, paying particular attention to its implications for food security in low-income countries. ![]()
