Global and regional consumer price indices (CPI) measure food inflation for a group of countries at different geographical scales: sub-regional (e.g. Middle Africa), regional (e.g. Africa) and global (all countries). The CPI of all items covers 204 countries, and the food CPI covers 198 countries worldwide. Country and regional consumer price indices are updated in FAOSTAT on a quarterly basis. The September 2020 analytical brief analyses the latest data update. The next release presenting global and regional trends will be in December 2020.
