| Publisher Description: This book is based on a workshop on cereals sector reform and food security in the Newly Independent States (NIS) and Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). held in Kiev, Ukraine, in December 1995. It addresses the general issues involved in the reform process and also considers the progress made, and constraints encountered, in the specific countries of the region. Earlier chapters consider general features of the reforms, and the later chapters are concerned with country-specific issues. The workshop was held as part of a broader initiative by the International Committee for Economic Reform and Cooperation (ICERC) to create a framework for cooperation on the critical issues of economic transition in this region: to revitalize trade, to stimulate investment, to increase food production, to develop and conserve resources, and to take effective action on environmental problems. The book will be of interest primarily to agricultural and food economists, but also to other social scientists concerned with the region. |
