Abstract

[eng] On the basis of extensive study of the literature, this paper shows the major importance of farm and food prices for poor families. Expensive foods are also important because their weight in household budgets is ..often heavy. Low income groups have high price elasticities. A rise in farm prices may have a negative impact on many rural poor who often are buyers of food. Food policies particularly food subsidies and aids targeted on certain groups are studied. (Ed.) [fre] S'appuyant sur de nombreuses études, ce rapport souligne, en premier lieu, l'importance majeure des prix agricoles et alimentaires pour les familles pauvres. Les aliments « chers » ont souvent un fort poids dans les budgets des ménages ; de toute façon les élasticités-prix des couches à bas revenus sont très fortes. L'effet d'une hausse des prix agricoles sur les ruraux les plus pauvres peut être négatif, car ils sont souvent acheteurs d'aliments. Les politiques alimentaires et, en particulier, les subventions alimentaires et aides ciblées sur certains groupes sont étudiées. (Réd.).
