Market indicators and food import bills
Forecast import bills of total food and major foodstuffs (US$ million)
Should the current forecasts for food trade, aid and prices for 2006 materialize, the economically vulnerable and food deficit regions could face more elevated import bills this year than last. Import bills for LDCs and LIFDCs are both forecast to rise by approximately 7 percent, much higher than the global average.
