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 third consecutive monthly increase in international prices of wheat and maize; at the country level, the spikes in prices of grains in Argentina due to severe dry weather and strong demand; and the easing of cereal prices in the Sudan and in Madagascar.
