Dear Readers,

We are pleased to share the July issue of the Asia Pacific Food Price and Policy Monitor, which aims to provide up-to-date information on price and policy developments in the Asia-Pacific region.

Highlights of the July 2015 issue are:


*      The pace of general and food inflation in the region in June was estimated at 2.5 and 2.4 percent, respectively.

*      Prices for limes in the Philippines and Thailand fell by 5.3 percent and 53.5 percent, respectively, in June, but rose by 10.6 percent in Sri Lanka.

*      Prices for fresh vegetables in China have been fluctuating less on the season's more plentiful supplies, except for tomato and kidney beans.

*      Seafood prices in Bangkok wholesale markets have been largely unaffected despite new regulations against IUU fishing that have kept thousands of ships in port.

*      The 12 nations of the Trans Pacific Partnership will meet in Hawaii at the end of July to try and finalize negotiations on the trade agreement that could boost agricultural trade.

For further details please refer to the attachment.
