Stocks

Stock monitoring activities are part of the Food Security Storage Support Project in West Africa.

Public stocks are instruments for preventing and managing food crises. In most countries, particularly in the Sahel, the management of these stocks is entrusted to companies or national food security stock management offices. The following can be considered as institutional stocks: national security stocks or reserves; public food aid, intervention stocks or sovereignty stocks; the commercial regulatory stock, etc. All the security stock management offices in the region are grouped together in a network called "RESOGEST".
