    This is the 32nd of a series of Working Papers prepared for the Pro-Poor Livestock Policy Initiative (PPLPI). The purpose of these papers is to explore issues related to livestock development in the context of poverty alleviation. Livestock is vital to the economies of many developing countries. Animals are a source of food, more specifically protein for human diets, income, employment and possibly foreign exchange. For low income producers, livestock can serve as a store of wealth, provide drau ght power and organic fertiliser for crop production and a means of transport. Consumption of livestock and livestock products in developing countries, though starting from a low base, is growing rapidly.

    It seems that good opportunities for improving rural livelihoods in Bolivia through livestock policy are to be found in the camelid sector. Markets for camelid meat, fiber, and leather are currently small but hold significant potential to benefit poor herders in the Andean highlands.

    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.
