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 generally higher international prices of maize and wheat; at the country level, further increases in the prices of key grain staples in Argentina, Brazil, Nicaragua and the Sudan to levels well above those a year earlier.
