This research project was intended to provide an overview of food security in the South Caucasus and also to provide an analysis of the capacity of government, NGOs and the media to engage in public discussions on food security issues.

The purpose of this project was to provide Oxfam a comparative briefing note on the five FSU countries where Oxfam continues to operate; Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Russia and Tajikistan.

This report, written for Oxfam Moscow, looks at the short- and long-term impact of the grain export ban issued by the Russian government during 2010-11.
