Impacts on the agricultural sector of moving towards a ‘healthy diet’ Gaelle Gouarin OECD Trade and Agriculture Food chain network meeting Mobilizing the food chain for health OECD, PARIS, October 25-26 2012
Impacts of moving towards a ‘healthy diet’ • Measure impact on main agricultural sector aggregates of : • Scenario 1 : Reduction in total fat consumption following a comprehensive prevention strategy. • Scenario 2 : WHO dietary guideline target of saturated fat consumption at 10% or less of total calories • Method: Simulations using the Aglink-Cosimo Model
What is the AGLINK - COSIMO model? • A partial equilibrium model covering the main agricultural markets (cereals, oilseeds, sugar, meats and dairy commodities), biofuels and fish & seafood • A recursive-dynamic model (i.e. the market equilibrium in one year includes lagged variables) • A Policy Specific Model: includes explicitly policy measures, such as import tariffs, tariff rate quotas, subsidies, etc.

Decrease in fat consumption following the implementation of a comprehensive prevention strategy • Reduction in total fat consumption following a comprehensive prevention strategy.
Implementation of a comprehensive prevention strategy : % decrease required in fat consumption
Scenario 1 results : Impacts on world prices of a comprehensive prevention strategy
Moving to WHO guidelines for saturated fats ( 10% of total calories) • Calculate saturated fat consumption in grams for each country(based on FBS-FAO), aglink database and secretariat estimates • Total Calories taken from national sources and assumptions applied over similar countries • Select those countries whose consumption of saturated fat >=10 % of total calories
