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 further fall in international prices of wheat and maize, and at subregional level, the sharp increases in the prices of maize in several East and Southern African countries due to concerns over the impact of adverse weather conditions on the 2019 crops.
