Abstract: 
This paper provides new evidence on the globalizationâ€'poverty nexus. We innovate by using an indicator of globalization in the food sector, finding evidence of a significantly aggravating impact on poverty prev-alence, adding to earlier studies that use indicators of general globalization. The opening of food markets since the mid-1990s in Latin America might have accounted for approximately 2 additional percentage points of the population living below the absolute poverty line of $2 a day in our sample.
