Maize prices closed 7% higher, while wheat and rice prices closed 5% lower respectively. On a year-on-year basis, maize prices are 9% lower and rice prices 8% lower, while wheat prices are 1% higher. Compared to January 2020, maize prices are 9% higher, wheat prices 3% lower, and rice prices 29% higher. (See “<a href="https://www.worldbank.org/en/research/commodity-markets">pink sheet”</a> data for agricultural commodity and food commodity prices indices, updated monthly.)</p><p><a href="https://www.amis-outlook.org/fileadmin/user_upload/amis/docs/Market_monitor/AMIS_Market_Monitor_current.pdf">The November 2024 Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS) Market Monitor</a> highlighted a range of price fluctuations and policy changes in global agriculture in October. Wheat prices reached multi-month highs, largely because of weather-related planting delays in the northern hemisphere, but later eased as conditions improved. Maize prices also increased slightly, even with swift harvest progress in the United States, whereas rice and soybean prices fell. In policy moves, India removed the minimum export price for non-basmati white rice, and Bangladesh and Türkiye relaxed import restrictions on maize, rice, and vegetable oils.</p><p>In the most recent <a href="https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/server/api/core/bitstreams/bbda9ad3-4f12-4626-ad4b-94a4d20fbd52/content">Commodity Markets Outlook</a>, the World Bank is projecting a 4% decrease in the agriculture commodity prices index in 2025 before stabilizing in 2026, after a 2% increase in 2024. The report also summarizes concerns about food insecurity and noted that the world remains far from achieving the goal of zero hunger by 2030. Conflict, extreme weather, and economic shocks are the major drivers of food insecurity. It is projected that food prices will decrease by 4% in 2025 before stabilizing in 2026.</p><p>The latest <a href="https://www.fightfoodcrises.net/sites/default/files/resource/file/HH_Nov24-May25_FINAL.pdf">Hunger Hotspots Report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Food Program (WFP</a><u>)</u> warns about worsening acute food insecurity in 16 hunger hotspots (covering 22 countries and territories) that will require urgent action between November 2024 and May 2025. Conflict, climate, and the economy are the primary drivers of food insecurity. Conflict continues to be the primary drivers of hunger in 15 hotspots.</p><p>Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, trade-related policies imposed by countries have surged. The global food crisis has been partially made worse by the growing number of food and fertilizer trade restrictions put in place by countries with a goal of increasing domestic supply and reducing prices. As of November 2024, 17 countries have implemented 22 food export bans, and 8 have implemented 12 export-limiting measures.</p><p> </p><h3 class='lp__lead_mdtitle'>World Bank Action</h3><p>Our food and nutrition security portfolio now spans across 90 countries.
