In tandem with regional tensions and disruptions in international shipping lanes, the country's food security file has surged to the forefront of economic discussions amid warnings of the negative impacts of over-reliance on imports. Experts and officials noted that importing over 90% of basic commodities leaves local markets vulnerable to external shocks and monopolization, demanding the urgent formulation of a long-term national strategy. Recommendations included calls to revitalize the agricultural and industrial sectors, limit the flooding of the market with foreign products, and rehabilitate national factories to create an integrated economic cycle that contributes to job creation and achieves a safe level of self-sufficiency.
