Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Poland
An uncertain global economy, extreme climate events, and the pandemic have all contributed to the uncertainty surrounding the resilience and flexibility of the global food system. The world community is now concerned about the gap in global development, of which food security is a significant part. As a result of the pandemic and the effects of climate change, food hunger has spread widely. China has an experience when it comes to implementing food security cooperation because of its extensive expertise in food and agricultural governance. China has attempted to apply its foreign policy ideas into a form of cooperation with Central and Eastern Europe. The trade cooperation between China and CEE is also now focused on agriculture and food production. As a result, numerous bilateral and multilateral forums for intergovernmental discussion were established. This research is to determine the food trade potential between Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and China using the revealed comparative advantage index, furthermore, examine the patterns and trends of agriculture trade between CEE countries and China. Assessing the vulnerabilities and resilience of CEE-China supply chains in the post-pandemic era, and analyzing the effects of trade disruptions on food availability, access and utilization in both partners. To achieve the goals of this study, a qualitative methodology will also be used.
