Many low income countries are highly dependent on cereal imports

Cereal import dependency ratio (%) by country, 2018.

Note: The cereal imports dependency ratio indicates how much of the available domestic food supply of cereals has been imported and how much comes from the country's own production. The greater the value, the higher the dependence (100 is a maximum). Negative values indicate that the country is a net exporter of cereals.
