Synopsis (short abstract) Due to the different species, commodities and preservation methods it was considered difficult to give indications in general on the development of prices for seafood. The import price indices developed in this report are based on unit values and it is shown that unit values reflect closely the development of actual prices. The reason why unit values are used is described and a detailed description of the scientific base for the construction of indices is given. The result shows that prices for the majority of fish products remain either stable or mostly decreased.

    Annual changes in global and regional consumer price indices (CPI) measure inflation rates of food and general consumer prices for a group of countries at different geographical scales: subregional (e.g. Middle Africa), regional (e.g. Africa) and global (all countries). The general CPI covers 204 countries, and the food CPI covers 200 countries worldwide. 22.1 percent of the observations for the food CPI and 9.2 percent for the general CPI are estimated. Country and regional consumer price indices are updated in FAOSTAT quarterly. This brief analyses the March 2023 update.

    Global and regional consumer price indices (CPI) measure food inflation for a group of countries at different geographical scales. Global CPI covers 193 countries worldwide. Country Consumer Price Indices are updated in FAOSTAT on a quarterly basis. Between 2014 and 2018, annual food inflation in most regions of the world presented various trends. The most remarkable variation was recorded in Africa, where the food inflation rate increased from 6.7 percent in 2014 to 13.8 percent in 2017. Asia saw a significant decrease from 4.5 percent in 2014 to 1.9 percent in 2017, before increasing to 3.2 percent in 2018. Latin America and the Caribbean experienced a remarkable decline in their annual inflation food rate from 7.5 percent in 2016 to 2.9 percent in 2017 before increasing again to 4.6 percent in 2018. During the same period, both North America and Europe experienced a low inflation rate.
