Dear Readers,
We are pleased to share the November 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 November 2014 issue are:
* General inflation in the region continued to slow, falling to 3.7 percent from 3.8 percent, while food price inflation was unchanged.
* Nominal rice prices rose 7.7 percent in South Asia in October.
* In Afghanistan retail prices for wheat and wheat flour fell by a respective 2 percent and 4.9 percent in expectation of an above-average harvest.
* Rice prices in India rose 18 percent year-on-year.
* India's cereal exports are forecast to decline by 30 percent this marketing year because of higher domestic requirements and anticipated lower output.
* India and Pakistan increased minimum producer prices for wheat to boost production.
* Viet Nam will establish 11 agricultural research parks to develop innovative technologies.
