Abstract: The paper proposes a theoretical model of Industrial Economics to analyze the interactions between domestic and export sectors of developing countries and their role in the availability of food supply in the domestic market sectors. The analysis takes into account the scarcity of agricultural land and evaluates two public policies: a production quota reserved for domestic markets and imposed to exporters and a subsidy to producers specialized in domestic crop. We show how a minimum production quota reserved for domestic markets does not suffice, when practiced separately, to simultaneously satisfy food security and producers participation objectives. Conversely, a subsidy for producers specialized in domestic crop can satisfy those two objectives. A combination of these two instruments (subsidy and minimum domestic production quota) is more effective than a single intervention to increase the total available supply but less effective for improving the participation of local producers, which is better when only subsidy is used.
