Food system largely relies on market, even in rural areas. Domestic food market is considerably more important than export market for agricultural products. The economic value of urban and rural markets has become roughly equivalent. At a national level, staple food accounts for about 40 % of the economic value of food consumption, animal products about a quarter and other products about a third. Food issues can no longer be mainly focused on cereals.
