World Population and Food Availability - Adequate Food for All - page 378

While domestic production is important, imports have played an increasingly
important role in the diet in both developed and developing countries.
Between 1970 and 2003, the highest import growth occurred in the poultry
market, for which imports grew 18-fold at the global level.
Improvements in global per capita food availability are projected to continue,
although at a slower rate than the historical period; growth in intake in
developing countries is expected to exceed that of developed countries.
