Resumo: 	Saudi Arabia's food consumption has grown dramatically over time.  There has been a sharp increase in food consumption and significant changes in the composition of food consumed.  Therefore, it is important that the government of Saudi Arabia anticipate further effects of these changes on growth of food demand and focus on food policies that contribute to development goals.  On the other hand, limited agricultural productivity and the nature of the country's climatic conditions have constrained agricultural production.  This restricted growth in production, combined with population growth, has led Saudi Arabia to depend heavily on food imports to cover the gap between domestic demand and local production.  The increased reliance on imports as a source of food will increase the country's import demand.   These main problems facing the Saudi agricultural sector suggest the need for an analytical framework that can evaluate effects of policy and resource change on imports, local production and local demand simultaneously.  Ideally, the framework should account for substitution and income effects across products that might arise from changes in consumption and production patterns.  This is the main objective of this paper.
