Journal, magazine, bulletinBulletinPacific Island countries: Impact of rising costs of food, feed, fuel, fertilizer and finance Bulletin, November 2022 | Issue #1 2022
Also available in:
No results found.The indirect impact of rising wheat prices and the impacts resulting from increased energy and transport costs and other goods are affecting Pacific Island Countries (PICs), significantly threatening Pacific governments’ ability to maintain their current food system pathways. As people in the Pacific struggle with covering the costs of rising food and fuel prices, their food security and livelihoods are put at further risk. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in collaboration with the World Food Programme (WFP) and other United Nations agencies, is supporting ten Pacific Island government authorities in increasing their technical capacity to analyse, predict, plan, and respond to the impacts of the global crisis of food, energy and finance on national food systems. The joint initiative aims at strengthening data collection and analysis, government capacity and cooperation with international financial institutions (IFIs) and development partners to understand, predict and respond to the impact of the war in Ukraine on agriculture and food security. This bulletin gives a snapshot of the on-going FAO and WFP joint work on data collection and analysis, reflecting unfolding impacts of the food, feed, fuel, fertilizer and finance (5F) crisis on agri-food systems in the Pacific throughout 2022.
