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 2015 issue are:

 

· Regional food prices rose 2.3 percent in October compared to one year earlier.

· In India, prices for pulses have continued rising with double-digit monthly increases since last year.

· In Thailand, chicken prices were 6.5 percent and 13.8 percent lower than a month and a year ago, respectively, on improved production.

· China announced a plan to develop modern agriculture and raise farmers’ incomes by improving agricultural management and rural collective property rights systems by 2020.

· Malaysia announced it will manage palm oil imports, minimizing them to stabilize rising domestic stocks and prevent prices from falling.
