Cereal import and GDP of Qatar With the increasing rates of business growth and availability of food security policies, Qatar is becoming one of the most noticeable economies in the Middle East as well as the gulf. This is because there is a shift in the economic dynamics and improvement in the drivers and pillars of the economy. A wider look into the available data of the export and import data of goods and services into the country proves that fact that the country and the policy makers plays a vital role in driving forth the economy of the region, the lifestyle of the citizens and the different aspects of development (Das & Mustapha 111).
Import of cereals into the country has been on the verge of increasing because of the rising needs for the use of cereals, vegetable and milk. The main factor that triggers this scenario is the increase in the number of young people as compared to the older people in the workforce. For instance, with the increased rates of employment culminating to maximum in the year 2010 to 2012, the workforce continues to demand for the increase in food supplies. However, the rates of increase in the importation of cereals are going down. An explanation for this is deeply rooted in the effort by the governance and policy makers of the region to bring about food security and contribute to the growth of GDP (Das & Mustapha 92). The data below shows the countries that export cereals to Qatar:

The following is a relational chart that brings about the connection between the declines in the rates of importation of cereals into Qatar. It shows the way the development in the GDP of the country. The relation is in the mode in which it influences the food security as well as strategies for the economic growth (Das & Mustapha 132).
