ISLAMIC ORGANIZATION FOR FOOD SECURITY
The Islamic Organization for Food Security (IOFS)
is a specialized institution of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

MISSION OF IOFS:
To ensure sustainable food security in the OIC countries through socio-economic development
and systemic promotion of targeted programs related to agriculture, science and technology,
humanitarian aid, trade and food export to the IOFS / OIC countries.
HISTORY OF IOFS:

7th Session of World Islamic Economic Forum Secretary-General of OIC

Astana, Kazakhstan, 7-9 June 2020 H.E. Yousef Bin Ahmad Bin Abdul Rahman Al-Othaimeen

WHY IN KAZAKHSTAN?
For the first time in June 2011 during the 7
th
World Islamic Economic Forum, and then at the
38th meeting of the Council Foreign Ministers
of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation
(OIC CFM), the President of the Republic of
Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev proposed
to create a food security organization
within the OIC with headquarters in
Kazakhstan as a state producing and
exporting food. The OIC member states
unanimously supported the proposal.
At the High-level Forum on Sustainable
Development under the guidance of the
UN General Assembly in 2019, the President
of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev
pointed out to the importance of the
goals of the Islamic Organization for
Food Security, which are aimed at
solving the problems of desertification,
deforestation, erosion, salinization, and
social insecurity. He expressed hope
that all 57 OIC member states will
join this initiative in near future.

On September 2020, at the general political
debate of the 75th session of the UN General
Assembly, President of the Republic of
Kazakhstan Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev also
noted the role of the IOFS in humanitarian
aid: «The next 10 years are critical for our
generation. The fundamental goal – the
complete eradication of hunger across the
globe must be achieved unconditionally.
In this regard, we note the importance of
convening the Food Systems Summit in 2021.
The Islamic Organization for Food Security
is willing to provide comprehensive support
for the development of food reserves and
implementation of a large-scale international
humanitarian campaign».
The name «Islamic Organization for
Food Security» (IOFS) and the Statute
of this specialized institution of the OIC
were formulated at the Intergovernmental
Meeting of Experts of the OIC Member States

 A. OIC PLAN OF ACTION FOR STRATEGIC COMMODITIES
A/1. DEVELOPMENT OF WHEAT
Wheat is a staple crop and
one of the most popularly
grown cereals in the
member states.
The OIC PLAN OF ACTION FOR DEVELOPMENT OF WHEAT
seeks to address the key challenges that member states face
in cultivation of wheat, such as soil degradation, decreased
water availability, poor infrastructure, weak environment
policies, rising temperatures, severe weather conditions,
poor mechanization and high production cost. The overall
objective of the Plan of Action is to ensure self-sufficiency
of wheat in the medium and long term, and to export to the
regional and international markets. The subregional Centres
of Excellence are being established for this purpose.
IOFS PRESENTATION 2021
A/2. DEVELOPMENT OF CASSAVA
Cassava is the fourth most
popular food crop in the
developing countries after
wheat, rice and maize.
According to the global cassava strategy for the new
millennium, cassava is one of the most reliable sources of food
and energy, which can be obtained from low-fertility soils
in dry areas. Africa is the single largest cassava producing
region, currently accounting for nearly one-third of the global
production.
The overall objective of the OIC PLAN OF ACTION FOR
DEVELOPMENT OF CASSAVA is to ensure self-sufficiency of
cassava in the medium term, and to export it to the regional and
international markets in the long term. The Secretariat of
IOFS offered its member countries to host the Centres
of Excellence on Cassava within their major research
institutions. They would assume a supervisory role in their
designated geographic areas to lead the cassava development-
related activities.
6
 A/3. DEVELOPMENT OF RICE
Rice is a strategic commodity that is the second
most important cereal crop in the world. Rice is
one of the top three crops (including wheat and
maize) that provide more than half of all calories
consumed by the entire human population.
The OIC PLAN OF ACTION FOR DEVELOPMENT OF RICE seeks to
increase rice production, provide access to improved seed varieties,
raise awareness of enhanced rice farming techniques, develop
sustainable strategies for farmer organisation and service delivery,
attract investments in increased irrigation, provide access to credit
and investment capital, create uniform quality standards, and ease
export/import restrictions.
The Secretariat of IOFS offered several member countries to
host the subregional Centres of Excellence for Rice within
their national research institutions. The research centres
would lead the rice development-related activities in their
designated areas, conduct and coordinate training and research
programmes.
IOFS PRESENTATION 2021
A/4. DEVELOPMENT OF PALM OIL
The misperception of the palm oil industry
could threaten the future of many developing
economies that rely heavily on palm oil exports.
This industry is the source of income for millions
of people, involving small farm-holders, SMEs
and large companies.
Palm oil is one of the most traded commodities in many OIC
member states. Palm oil remains a strategic industry because
of its considerable contribution to non-oil and gas exports, mass
employment, rural development and poverty reduction in a number
of IOFS/OIC countries.
With the mobilisation of SESRIC as a major research institution
of OIC as well as Centres of Excellence in palm oil research, it has
become possible to create a mutually rewarding partnership among
IOFS/OIC member states through strengthening the capabilities of
the research institutions and improving reverse linkage.
One of important parts of this program are joint work of IOFS and
member countries on public awareness of nutritional value of
palm oil.

 C/9. TRANSBOUNDARY PEST CONTROL
MANAGEMENT
Locust is a transboundary insect that migrates among more than 60
countries globally and has recently affected countries in East Africa,
the Middle East, and Asia. The swarm of locust in one square kilometre
contains 40 million locusts and could consume the amount of food of 35000
people and can fly up to 100 miles. In response to the OIC official request
on June 2020, IOFS is intensifying actions on combatting the menace of
transboundary locust invasion and the pests. In the IOFS Memorandum
Response to COVID-19, the issue of pest control and counter locust invasion
programs have assumed status, owing to the damaging effects posed to
lives and livelihood as well as the food supply in OIC member states.
IOFS EFFORTS WILL EXTEND TO:
Compilation of status reports on the pest control and counter-locust
measures in OIC member states, in collaboration with national
and international research institutions.
Increasing capacity of member states to strengthen national policies
and regulations on prediction, monitoring and management of locusts
and pest control.
Encouraging member states in locust-prone areas to establish robust
early warning systems for the prompt response to locust invasion and
pest control.
Ensuring deployment of rapid humanitarian food aid to affected member
states and communities through an IOFS flash appeal and the utilization
of existing humanitarian platforms, including the proposed OIC Food
Security Reserves program.
IOFS invites OIC Member Countries to cooperate in this new Program.
In the same vein, IOFS invites other OIC institutions, namely, IsDB and
COMSTECH, to cooperate in the implementation of the mentioned program.

C/10. WATER MANAGEMENT
IN AGRICULTURE
The OIC WATER VISION underlines the need to foster consensus and promote
solutions that would reflect within the national agenda of member states as well
as the joint programs and interventions by the OIC and other regional and global
institutions.
The adoption of the OIC WATER VISION and the biennial OIC Conference of
Ministers responsible for Water has spurred considerable actions on the part
of several OIC institutions. With the advent of Islamic Organization for Food
Security (IOFS) and given its statutory role of coordinating food security issues,
the coordination of the implementation of the findings of the proposed water
plan would devolve on this new OIC specialized institution for agriculture, rural
development and food security.
IMPLEMENTATION MECHANISM
Implementation of the IOFS Plan of water management in agriculture
will be accomplished through the following actions:
Supporting the establishment of partnerships between OIC Institutions;
Organizing workshops on water management in agriculture;
The planned roundtable would be held at the level of experts from all;
OIC member states and international organizations. This event is to
define all urgent tasks for IOFS intervention and participation, realizing
