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 fall in the international prices of wheat and maize on account of abundant export supplies and the general increase in prices of maize in Southern African countries on account of tight supplies and unfavourable production prospects for the 2019 crop.
