The Monthly Price and Policy Update (MPPU) is a new information product provided by the oilseeds desk of the Trade and Markets Division. As a complement to our bi-annual market reports, this brief note follows two purposes: first, to review the development of international prices for oilseeds, oils and meals as reflected by FAO’s specific price indices and second, to spot recent policy and market events - selected from a variety of sources - that are deemed important for the global oilseed economy. The brief shall be issued in the first week of each month, for a total of 10 issues per year. The note, which will be available in English only, will be posted on this web page as well as sent to subscribers of the Oilcrops Market Network
All the information published in the second part of the MPPU (i.e. the section featuring policy developments and industry news) is now also available in a single Excel file so as to allow users to search for news items that deal with specific countries or topics. To launch a search, type your keyword in the white search box at the top (column C), then leave the cell and finally click on ‘filter’ (column D). You will see a list of items featuring the keyword, in chronological order.
