Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to share with you the latest AP Weekly Price Monitor (22 March<http://www.fao.org/fileadmin/templates/rap/files/ESP/2013-03-18_AP_Weekly_-_Full_report.pdf>). You can find this and previous issues here<http://www.fao.org/asiapacific/rap/home/asia-pacific-food-situation/asia-pacific-food-situation-weekly-update/en/>.
Over the past week, staple food commodity prices remained relatively stable in all reporting countries, except for:
In Viet Nam, rice prices dropped by 7 and pork prices increased by 7 percent during the second week of March.
Under regional policy highlights, Lao PDR and Thailand signed a Memorandum of Understanding to promote a contract farming scheme to facilitate export of farm products from Lao to Thailand. Under the scheme, Thailand will grant an import tariff exemption/reduction and Lao will provide privileged tax incentives for the importation of seeds, seedlings, fertilizers, and machinery.
Under national policy highlights, the Government of India allowed wheat exports from Central Pool stocks through public agencies for a total amount of 4.5 million tonnes until 30 June 2013 and the National Rice Policy Committee in Thailand finalized the MY2012/13 off-season paddy pledging program maintaining the intervention prices unchanged at THB 13 800-15 000 per tonne (USD 460-500 per tonne), between 30 and 40 percent above current market prices. The program will likely begin in April 2013, a month behind schedule.
