Appreciable
There exist cases where a lot of nations have to import an appreciable amount of food from others.
Is appreciable used correcty?

Yes, it's used in the correct way. However, I would wonder whether 'significant' would sound more natural. In the earlier part of the sentence, I would remove 'a lot' (or restructure the sentence) as it seems odd to point out that 'cases' exist where 'a lot of nations' do something.
