FAO Food Price Index continued to drop in December, however, it rose substantially on a yearly basis

FAO Food Price Index continued to drop in December, however, it rose substantially on a yearly basis | MED-Amin network | Scoop.it

The FAO Food Price Index* (FFPI) averaged 132.4 points in December 2022, down 2.6 points (1.9 percent) from November, marking the ninth consecutive monthly decline and standing 1.3 points (1.0 percent) below its value a year ago. The decline in the index in December was driven by a steep drop in the international prices of vegetable oils, together with some declines in cereal and meat prices, but partially counterbalanced by moderate increases in those of sugar and dairy. For 2022 as a whole, however, the FFPI averaged 143.7 points, up from 2021 by as much as 18 points, or 14.3 percent.

» The FAO Cereal Price Index averaged 147.3 points in December, down 2.9 points (1.9 percent) from November, but still 6.8 points (4.8 percent) above its December 2021 value. Wheat export prices fell in December, as ongoing harvests in the southern hemisphere boosted supplies and competition among exporters remained strong. World

Food price shocks and diets among poor households in EGYPT

Food price shocks and diets among poor households in EGYPT | MED-Amin network | Scoop.it

Because of its dependence on food imports, Egypt is particularly vulnerable to the high world food prices and trade shocks triggered by Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Imports account for more than 40% of Egypt’s calorie consumption, and the country is the world’s largest importer of wheat, with about 85% coming from Russia and Ukraine before the war began. Since then, supply disruptions, high global market prices, and other factors have led to sharp rises in domestic food inflation, which reached 31% in November. This in turn is a major driver of rising overall annual inflation, which soared from 6% to 19% in between January and November 2022 (CBE, 2022)—the highest rate in five years.

La réforme de l’assurance récolte : un nouveau dispositif au goût d’inachevé /

La réforme de l’assurance récolte : un nouveau dispositif au goût d’inachevé / | MED-Amin network | Scoop.it
L’assurance MRC, également appelée assurance récolte car elle indemnise les pertes de récoltes liées aux aléas climatiques, ne couvre en 2022 que 17% des surfaces agricoles assurables. C’est peu par rapport à ses ambitions, qui sont d’améliorer la résistance et la résilience des exploitations face aux risques climatiques.Une réforme du système d’assurance récolte a donc été lancée, faisant l’objet d’une loi d’orientation promulguée en mars 2022, qui en trace les grandes lignes, les modalités de mise en œuvre étant fixées par ordonnances et décrets. Les derniers détails de la réforme ne sont donc pas encore fixés, mais celle-ci commence à s’appliquer dès le 1er janvier 2023. Le nouveau format vise une augmentation du nombre d’agriculteurs couverts grâce à un dispositif simplifié et censément plus avantageux. Qu’en est-il réellement ? Quels sont les changements majeurs, qu’est-ce qui mériterait d’être encore amélioré ?
