      abstract = {This paper analyses the impacts of climate change of food  processing sectors
worldwide. Specifically, we analyze the  impacts that changes in agricultural
productivity might  have for seven food industry sectors, namely meat,  vegetable
oils and fats, dairy, sugar, processed rice,  other food products and beverage and
tobacco products. We  analyze two different scenarios of crops yield  changes
based on Müller et al. (2009), one with full CO2  fertilization and one without CO2
fertilization. We use a  general equilibrium approach, given the advantages  that
this methodology provides for worldwide analysis of  productivity and its impacts
on production, trade and  prices of primary agriculture, and ultimately,  food
processing sectors. We use the GTAP computable general  model with version 7
of the GTAP database, with a base year  of 2004. We aggregate this database into
10 regions and 12  sectors, with special emphasis on food processing sectors.  The
results show that overall, the impacts on food  processing depends whether we
consider CO2 fertilization or  not.},
