endanger food access

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

§  Prices of cereals and other food products surged in November-December 2017, reaching record or near-record highs.

 

§  The sharp increases were mainly driven by a depreciation of the Sudanese Pound.

 

§  The Government’s decision to cut wheat import subsidies was reported to further underpin the increase in the prices of wheat flour and bread.
