Synopsis (short abstract) Food markets in 2019/20 are bracing for some additional uncertainties beyond their own fundamentals. A fast-changing trade environment and the rapid spread of African Swine Fever constitute important challenges to overcome. However, prospects point to generally well supplied markets, which is seen to contribute to a lower food import bill in 2019.

The special feature article on Commodity Focus (p.73-76) is excerpted and available: Bananas and major tropical fruits in Latin America and the Caribbean: The significance of the region to world supply
