On the Issue of Food Security of the EAEU Countries During a Pandemic

Abstract

The main purpose of this article is to determine the impact of the pandemic on the food security of the EAEU, which have different levels of agricultural development and experience various problems with the logistics of delivering food to the population. The authors emphasize that at present the efforts of all countries should be aimed not only at maintaining the stable functioning of the internal agri-food market, but also at determining the further prospects for its development. It became necessary to develop an international treaty on the creation of a single market for organic agricultural products, which will allow organizing the unhindered circulation of such products in the domestic market, as well as starting negotiations on the access of producers of the EAEU member states to the markets of third countries. Joint efforts of the EAEU countries can create technologies for the complex processing of food raw materials, new methods of growing, storing, and transporting agricultural products.
