Subject: Asia Pacific Food Price and Policy Monitor - March 2014

Dear Readers,

We are pleased to share the eighth issue of our monthly publication, 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 March 2014 issue are:


*         The pace of food prices rises around the Asia-Pacific region slowed to 4.4 percent in February compared to 5.4 percent in January because of an easing of rising prices for staple commodities in China, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka.

*         The regional rice price index up by 0.8 percent in February in real terms. Regional wheat prices fell 0.5 percent, but were 2.4 percent higher than last year because of rising prices in India and East Asia.

*         Vegetable prices in Sri Lanka continued to fall in February after spiking in the final quarter of last year. Prices for onions fell 15.9 percent, tomatoes fell 2.4 percent and potatoes by 3 percent.

*         India approved the implementation of the National Mission on Agricultural Extension and Technology (NMAET). It will restructure and strengthen agricultural extension, enable delivery of appropriate technology and impart agronomic practices to farmers.

*         The EU will help 15 Pacific Island countries in reducing their reliance on fossil fuels and building capacities to cope with climate change through a US$ 48.7 million programme, Adapting to Climate Change and Sustainable Energy, in partnership with development agencies.

For further details please refer to the attachment.
