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 higher export prices of maize, while at the country level, the high level of food prices in Zimbabwe, the Sudan and South Sudan. In addition, tight supplies and uncertain production prospects underpinned maize price increases in several Southern African countries.
