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 sharp decline of wheat and maize prices in the international market; while at sub-regional level, the further decline in cereal prices in East Africa, with the notable exception of Ethiopia, and in Asia the high level of prices in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
