Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
Nearly 90% above the five-year average is the level at which staple food prices remain in Haiti. Although inflation slowed slightly and some fuel prices declined, insecurity along major road corridors continues to raise logistics and marketing costs and constrain very poor households' economic access to food.
37,500 tonnes of wheat and flour will be imported to supply the bakery sector, consisting of 30,000 tonnes of wheat and 7,500 tonnes of flour.
2 components of inflation, food and energy, could increase in response to an intense El Niño event in Latin America during 2026.
16% was the cumulative increase in wheat futures during July 2026, driven by the escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, while maize reached its highest value in more than two months.
6 priority action areas, alternative trade routes, market monitoring, fertilizer reserves, logistics infrastructure, consumption protection and humanitarian channels, concentrate FAO regional recommendations.
167 million people face moderate or severe food insecurity in Latin America and the Caribbean; in addition, more than 33 million suffer from hunger and over 181 million cannot afford a healthy diet.
130.7 points was the FAO Food Price Index in April 2026, up 1.6% from March and 2.0% from April 2025.
This study evaluates the effect of a liquid biofertilizer made from cocoa husks on the growth and chlorophyll content of sweet pepper plants (Capsicum chinense) in San Martín, Peru. The results show significant increases in height, stem diameter, and chlorophyll content, especially with doses of 1250–3000 mL, demonstrating its potential as a sustainable input to improve the physiological perfor...
This study evaluates the effect of different bio-ferments on the morphology and quality of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) seedlings under nursery conditions. Treatments were compared based on parameters such as height, stem diameter, number of leaves, and seedling quality. The results show significant improvements in growth when bio-ferments are applied, highlighting their potential as an agroecologic...
Up to 15 % could increase food prices by 2030 without land-use planning in biofuels, affecting the most vulnerable (Nature Food, 2023).
