Rice conditions remain mixed with favourable conditions in China and parts of India while poor wet-season outcomes are expected in Thailand. Poor soybean outcomes are expected in parts of Nigeria, Romania, Ukraine, and the US as harvest nears completion.

Persisting and intensifying conflicts are aggravating food insecurity, and moderating international food commodity prices are being countered by weak currencies in many low-income countries. A total of 46 countries around the world, including 33 in Africa, are assessed to need external assistance for food, according to the latest Crop Prospects and Food Situation report, a triannual publication by FAO’s Global Information and Early Warning System (GIEWS), also published today.
More than half the residents of the Gaza Strip were estimated to be in acute food insecurity already in 2022, and escalation of the conflict there will increase humanitarian and emergency assistance needs even as access to the affected areas remains an alarming concern, FAO said, adding that spillover effects from the conflict could worsen food insecurity in Lebanon.

Le stress hydrique n’est plus un phénomène conjoncturel. C’est une réalité structurelle. Selon les experts, il y a urgence de repenser notre rapport à l’eau, son usage et sa gouvernance. La Tunisie est actuellement confrontée à une crise sévère de stress hydrique, qui a un impact sur sa sécurité alimentaire, sa croissance économique et son développement agricole. Les effets du changement climatique ont aggravé la situation, entraînant des conséquences désastreuses pour les petits agriculteurs et une flambée des prix des denrées alimentaires. C’est le moment pour que le gouvernement adopte une approche radicalement différente pour faire face à ce fléau.

The report cautions that higher oil prices could have spillover effects on other commodity markets, especially food. It notes that energy accounts for about a third of the cost of producing cereals and that higher fuel prices could increase transportation costs and reduce trade flows. It also points out that higher oil prices could stimulate biofuel production, which could divert land and crops away from food production. The report stresses that energy-market turmoil could intensify food insecurity, especially in low-income countries that are net importers of both food and fuel.

Dans un marché mondial du blé très tendu, surtout depuis le début de la guerre en Ukraine, l’Asie joue un rôle important et croissant. Les deux grands pays, la Chine et l’Inde, sont à la fois producteurs et importateurs. D’autres pays voient leur consommation augmenter, du fait de l’urbanisation et du changement consécutif de pratiques alimentaires. Cette nouvelle donne interroge la politique agricole européenne.

The SOFA Report by FAO has just been released. The value of agrifood systems is not in doubt. They provide nourishment, sustain economies and shape cultural identities. However, one must also consider the environmental, social and health hidden costs associated with these systems.

International quotations for rice, wheat, palm oil and pig meat decline. The FAO Food Price Index, which tracks monthly changes in the international prices of a set of globally-traded food commodities, averaged 120.6 points in October, down 10.9 percent from its corresponding value a year earlier.
The FAO Cereal Price Index declined by 1.0 percent from the previous month. International rice prices dropped by 2.0 percent amid generally passive global import demand, while those of wheat dropped by 1.9 percent, weighed on by strong supplies from the United States of America and strong competition among exporters. By contrast, quotations for coarse grains rose slightly, led by maize due to thinning supplies in Argentina. Read more ...
