Rapport mensuel sur les tendances des prix alimentaires
2017Les prix du blé américain de référence ont fléchi en octobre en raison principalement de perspectives de disponibilités accrues, tandis que les cours du maïs se sont raffermis à cause de retards dans les récoltes imputables aux pluies. Les cours internationaux du riz se sont renforcés en octobre, en raison essentiellement d’un resserrement de l’offre des riz Japonica et aromatiques. En Afrique de l'Est et de l'Ouest, le prix des céréales a baissé en octobre sous la pression des récoltes de 2017 en cours. Toutefois, des inquiétudes relatives aux récoltes et à l'insécurité civile ont maintenu les prix à des niveaux élevés dans certains pays, en particulier en Éthiopie, au Nigéria et au Soudan du Sud. En Amérique centrale, les pluies torrentielles tombées en octobre ont provoqué des augmentations intempestives des prix du maïs et des haricots. Ils sont cependant restés à des niveaux nettement inférieurs à ceux observés un an plus tôt, en raison de l'offre intérieure suffisante, issue de s bonnes récoltes rentrées en 2016 et en 2017 (au cours de la première campagne). -

Rapport mensuel sur les tendances des prix alimentaires
2017Les prix internationaux du blé et du maïs sont demeurés relativement stables en novembre du fait de la situation satisfaisante de l’offre, tandis que les cours à l’exportation du riz ont augmenté en raison de l’intérêt accru des acheteurs et des fluctuations des devises. En Afrique de l’Est, les prix des céréales ont continué de fléchir en novembre dans la plupart des pays sous la pression des récoltes de 2017 actuellement en cours et se sont établis à des niveaux similaires ou inférieurs aux niveaux observés un an plus tôt, à quelques exceptions près. En revanche, au Soudan, les prix ont flambé et ont atteint des niveaux record sur certains marchés, en raison principalement de la forte dépréciation de la livre soudanaise sur le marché parallèle. En Amérique centrale, les prix du maïs blanc ont fléchi en novembre du fait du retour à la normale des flux commerciaux, qui avaient été perturbés par les pluies torrentielles tombées en octobre. Le bon niveau des disponibilités intérieures a maintenu les prix à des valeurs inférieures à celles observées un an plus tôt.

Book (series)Technical studyLatin America and the Caribbean - Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2023
Statistics and trends
2023Also available in:
The 2023 edition of the Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean presents an update of the data and trends in food security and nutrition in recent years. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis and the conflict in Ukraine, as well as the economic slowdown, rising food inflation and income inequality have had an impact on regional figures. The most recent data shows that, between 2021 and 2022, progress was made in reducing hunger and food insecurity in Latin America and the Caribbean. However, the progress achieved is far from the targets established to meet SDG 2 of ending hunger. In addition, one in five people in the region cannot access a healthy diet and malnutrition in all its forms, including child stunting, micronutrient deficiencies and obesity continue to be a major challenge. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2019
Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability. -
Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated.
