In 2022, 30 countries had enacted export restriction measures in the agriculture and food sector. As a result, food prices in global markets have destabilized. Although some countries have implemented such restriction measures to ensure domestic food availability and stability, they had a negative impact on global food security. We argue that not all export restriction measures should be regulated. We propose that the international society identify countries that should be restricted or allowed to conduct these measures based on the prevalence of undernourishment (POU). Furthermore, we advocate that the impact of these measures on caloric intake should be considered risks of availability and stability as per the new Food and Agriculture Organization Food Security Indicators should be assessed.
