A recent set of case studies undertaken by FAO draws complementary' conclusions on how the “mainstreaming” of agricultural trade policies into development strategies can help build support for policies that can help trade contribute more effectively to national food security. The findings of these two case study projects are summarised in Boxes 5 and 6. The supporting case studies looked at the underlying political economy of policy decisions in 14 countries: Bangladesh, Brazil, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Viet Nam, and Zambia.
