Monthly Report on Food Price Trends
2015International prices of wheat and maize in May averaged lower than in the previous month and were well below their year‑earlier levels, on account of the generally positive outlook for the 2015 crops. Rice quotations moved also downwards mostly due to slow export sales. In East Africa, in Kenya, the United Republic of Tanzania and Uganda, maize prices strengthened further in May, after spiking in April, and doubled their levels of three months ago in several markets. The recent increase in pric es reflects uncertain crop prospects and strong regional export demand. In Southern Africa, prices increased in May in main producer, South Africa, despite the ongoing 2015 harvest, while declined elsewhere but at a lower-than-normal pace. Price support was provided by an anticipated sharply reduced regional output. Overall, maize prices were above their levels in May 2014. -
NewsletterFPMA Bulletin #11, 11 December 2017 2017International prices of wheat and maize remained relatively stable in November, reflecting good supply conditions, while export quotations of rice strengthened amid increased buying interest and currency movements. In East Africa, prices of cereals in November continued to decline in most countries with the ongoing 2017 harvests and were at levels around or below those a year earlier with a few exceptions. By contrast, in the Sudan, prices surged and reached record highs in some markets, mainly underpinned by the sharp depreciation of the Sudanese Pound in the parallel market. In Central America, prices of white maize eased in November as market flows returned to normal, after disruption caused by severe rains in the previous month. Good domestic availabilities kept prices at levels below those a year earlier.
