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.
