About
I am an economist specialised in (inter)national food markets. My recent focus has been on why food prices are so high and the impact on food security.
I have done several research projects in Africa (Côte d´Ivoire, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia and Zambia), as well as South East Asia (India, Cambodia and Indonesia).
I am currently doing a PhD on transaction risks in sesame markets in Ethiopia with Wageningen University, Development Economics (see http://bit.ly/V1mMFO). My research is on farmers and traders behaviour and strategies in the light of the institutional change brought about by the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange.
