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 diverging trends of wheat prices and the general decline of maize prices in the international market; while at sub-regional level, the further increase in cereal prices in East Africa and the decrease in maize prices in most countries of Southern Africa, due to expectations of a strong maize production rebound in 2017.
