Abstract
The EAC region is frequently affected by food shortages and pockets of hunger although the region as a whole has a huge potential and capacity to produce enough food for regional consumption and a large surplus for export to the world market. There are many factors leading to this state affair but the most critical are: (i) inadequate food exchange/trade between periods and/or places of abundant harvest on one hand, and those with deflict on the other; and (ii) high variability in production caused by high variability of weather which is becoming worse due to climate.
