Dear colleagues,



We are pleased to attach the latest AP Weekly Price Monitor (2 November).

You can find this and previous issues in 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 most countries except for the following:


- In Myanmar groundnut oil prices fell by 6 percent and were 19 percent below the record high observed in late-August 2012 (MMK 3,036).
- Pork prices in Thailand increased by 7 percent.
Under national policy highlights, Wenzhou City Government in China approved a plan to allow breeders to offer poultry and livestock as collateral for loans provided by lending agencies or rural credit cooperatives. In return, they can receive loans worth up to 80 per cent of the assessed value of the animals they offered as collateral.
In the weather aspect, Son-Tinh (Ofel) made landfall as a tropical storm in the Philippines last week. Agriculture estimated damage is valued in PHP 4.6 million (US $ 111,000). After gaining typhoon strength, Son-Tinh hit Viet Nam on 28 Oct, causing significant damage to infrastructure, and agriculture (19,600 hectares of rice fields) and off-shore aquaculture farms (10,000 hectares of seafood farming area) in the Northern and Northern Central coastal provinces. Typhoon Son-Tinh hit in south China's Hainan Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on 29 October affecting 41,100 hectares of crops.

With best regards,

AP Weekly Price Monitor
