Monthly Report on Food Price Trends
2018Also available in:
No results found.International prices of wheat increased in August, underpinned by deteriorating crop prospects and tightening export availabilities. Prices of maize rose for the first time in three months, while rice quotations eased amid generally subdued demand. In East Africa, prices of grains in the Sudan rose further to record highs in August, underpinned by the removal of wheat subsidies, a strong depreciation of the local currency and increased transport costs. Elsewhere in the subregion, prices generally declined and were at levels well below those a year earlier in most countries. In Central America, prices of white maize increased significantly and reached levels well above those a year earlier in most countries of the subregion mainly due to the adverse impact of dry weather on harvest prospects for the 2018 main season crops. -

Monthly Report on Food Price Trends
2018Also available in:
No results found.International prices of wheat in October were supported by concerns over a tighter global supply outlook, those of maize in the United States of America rose, mostly supported by large export sales. By contrast, export prices of rice were generally weaker on account of harvest pressure, export competition and currency movements. In Asia, in the Philippines, the start of the 2018 main season harvest halted the upward trend of rice prices of the past several months on the backdrop of low public inventories and increased fuel costs. Prices, however, remained at record or near-record highs, well above their levels in October 2017. In Central America, prices of white maize dropped markedly in October, mainly as a result of improved market availabilities from the 2018 main season harvest. Prices, however, remained well above their year-earlier values in most countries, particularly in Nicaragua, following the sustained increases since the beginning of 2018. -
Book (series)FPMA Bulletin : Monthly Report on Food Price Trends, No. 7, 10 August 2015 2015International prices of maize increased for the second consecutive month in July, with the negative impact of excessive rains on crops in the United States of America in the first half of the month underpinning prices. By contrast, export prices of wheat from the United States of America declined slightly with 2015 production prospects still favourable overall, while quotations from other origins strengthened slightly. In West Africa, uncertain prospects for the 2015 crops, due to delayed rains , and the depreciation of the national currencies continued to underpin cereal prices in some coastal countries. In Southern Africa, strong price gains for maize were recorded in July, particularly in Mozambique and South Africa, where prices were well above their year-earlier levels. In general, prices in the subregion are supported by a sharply reduced 2015 regional production. In Central America and the Caribbean, prices of white maize increased sharply in July and remained significantly abo ve their year-earlier levels in most countries of the subregion. Prices were underpinned by concerns about prospects for the 2015 main season harvests following dry weather associated with the El Niño phenomenon.
