The latest issue of the FPMA (Food Price Monitoring and Analysis) Bulletin FAO/GIEWS monthly report has been released. The monthly FPMA Bulletin reports food price trends at world, regional and country level with a focus on countries where prices of one or more basic food commodity are at abnormal high levels in main markets. 

Main highlights of this issue are the firmer international prices of wheat and maize following declines in September, and at the country level record high prices of rice in the Philippines and sharp drop in prices of white maize in Central America with the 2018 main harvest.
