KEY MESSAGES

• In West Africa, regional staple food production during the 2016/17 marketing year was well above average. International imports along with institutional subsidized sales supported market supplies.

INTERNATIONAL MARKETS

Current situation

• International rice prices declined on average in September, owing to strong competition in the Asian markets. This trend is expected to continue with arrival of the new Asian crop during the fourth quarter of 2017 (InterRice and World Bank). Rice prices remain below average levels (Figure 2). Global supplies continue to remain close to average levels (Figure 3).

• Global maize prices decreased further in September owing to expectations for bumper U.S. and China harvests. Maize prices continue to remain well below average levels (FAO and World Bank).

• International wheat prices were mostly firm in September due to abundant supplies and stiff competition among exporters (AMIS and FAO). Global wheat supplies are well above average levels (Figure 3).

• Global soybean prices increased slightly in September amid worries over less than ideal weather for the 2017/18 planting season (IGC and AMIS).

• International crude oil prices continued to tighten on account of declining global inventories, increasing expectation for oil demand growth and geopolitical events. (U.S. Energy Information Administration).

Outlook

• Strong demand will increase the 2017 global rice trade to an all-time high, tightening key exporter stocks. Rice production is expected to be less abundant with gains potentially driven by above average crops for countries like Thailand, which saw an extension of area planted (IGC and InterRice).

• Large global supplies and low export sales will put downward pressure on global maize prices. Global trade is revised downward with lower projected imports for Vietnam and Turkey. (USDA FAS and FAO).

• The global wheat production forecast for 2017 is raised on expectations for a larger harvest in the Russian Federation and EU. Global wheat trade will reach unprecedented levels, underpinned by ample export availabilities, particularly in the Russian Federation (AMIS and IGC).

• Global soybean output for 2017/18 is lowered slightly, while stocks will tighten as continued demand for soybean products is set to push use to a new high (IGC).

• Strong inventory draws on international crude oil will likely place upward pressure on prices for the remainder of 2017 through 2018 (U.S. Energy Information Administration).

Staple food price trends across the countries monitored by FEWS NET will vary considerably in the coming months in response to local and

regional market conditions; international market trends will play a more limited role in most countries (Figure 2). Fuel price trends in FEWS

NET countries will depend on both international market conditions, the evolution of local exchange rates in relation to the U.S. Dollar, and

the design and implementation of local fuel import and price policies.

WEST AFRICA Current Situation

• In West Africa, the 2016/17 marketing year concluded in September. Market supplies were seasonally low but improving, thanks to the availability of early harvests from the 2017/18 production season. Regional staple food availability was adequate in September due to the availability of local remaining stocks from the previous production year, regional and international trade flows, and seasonal subsidized sales (Figure 4). Pastoral conditions are favorable across much of the region, except in western Mauritania and Senegal. In Nigeria, the depreciation of the Naira (NGN), official and unofficial restrictions on trade, and the ongoing conflict in the northeast continues to disrupt domestic and cross border staple food, cash crop, and livestock markets (Figure 5).

• Cross-border trade remained dynamic within and between the different basins in September. Reduced flows from Nigeria to Niger (due to the macro-economic situation in Nigeria coupled with border restrictions) were partially offset by intensified flows from the Central basin (Burkina Faso, Benin, Ghana, Togo, and Benin) to Niger. However, market activities remain disrupted in insecurity stricken zones of the Greater Lake Chad area and, to a lesser extent, Northern Mali. Trade flows are likewise constrained between Chad, Libya, and the Central Africa Republic. Market activities in Mauritania along the Senegalese border continue to operate at below normal levels due to customs control measures in place.

• Cereal prices were stable or increased slightly in September across much of the Sahel. Since June/July Local coarse grain prices have been elevated compared to their respective 2016 and five year average levels in many areas. However, local and imported rice prices remain above their respective 2016 and five-year average levels in Mauritania due to recent changes in the import tariff schedule. Demand for wheat for food and feed has increased in Mauritania due to anticipated below average sorghum harvests and below average pasture availability. Strong demand from Niger over the 2016/17 marketing year in Burkina Faso and southern Mali has resulted in relatively low trader carryover stocks

• In Nigeria, the effects of multiple shocks continue to disrupt market activities, resulting in atypical price trends in Nigeria and neighboring countries. Prices are above their respective 2015/16 levels in central and eastern Niger where there were above-average localized deficits during the 2016/17 marketing year. Those same areas continue to receive lower than average staple food imports from Nigeria to fill the gap. Below average forage availability coupled with below average market demand continues to put downward pressure on livestock demand and prices in Niger.

• Pastoral grazing conditions are favorable in the central and eastern basins, with improved pasture and water availability. However, livestock prices remain well below average in Niger and Chad due to the reduced export opportunities to Nigeria. Localize rainfall deficits and early evaporation of watering holes have resulted in unfavorable grazing conditions in western Mauritania and Senegal.

Outlook

• Market demand is expected to decline with the onset of the main harvest across the region. Harvests for the 2017/18 marketing year are expected to be above average. This will encourage the release of stocks and maintain market supplies at sufficient levels. Grain prices will remain elevated in areas where the macroeconomic and policy environment have pushed prices up (Mauritania and Nigeria) or where disruptions to trade flows limit the extent to which regional supplies fill localized deficits (Niger and northeast Nigeria). Strong trader and institutional demand may put upward pressure on prices in the Burkina Faso and Niger. Despite favorable pastoral conditions, livestock prices in the Sahel will likely remain below average due to limited demand from Nigeria.

EAST AFRICA Current Situation

• Staple food prices seasonally declined in South Sudan with the start of the green harvest ahead of the October-to-February harvest. However, prices remained atypically high (Figure 6), driven by deteriorating macroeconomic

conditions, such as hyperinflation, depreciation of local

currency, as well as depleted stocks from the previous significantly below-average harvest, erratic trade flows due to insecurity, and scarcity of fuel. Supplies are especially thin in areas where there is sustained conflict and high insecurity, including the Greater Upper Nile region, with seasonal deterioration of road access during the June-to-October rains.

• In Yemen, wheat flour prices remained stable across most markets. The recent floating of the Yemeni Rial (YER) has had insignificant effect on markets as traders were already previously using the unofficial market exchange rate. Staple food prices are expected to remain well above-average due to ongoing conflict related market and economic disruptions.

• In Somalia, the July-to-August Gu season continued to increase supplies, causing maize and sorghum prices to seasonally decline in the main producing southern region and remain stable in the central and northern regions. While imported food prices were generally stable, prices were elevated in the north due to Somaliland Shilling (SLS) depreciation. Livestock prices were stable with limited livestock supply and demand following consecutive droughts resulting in livestock deaths and poor animal body conditions, except in the Shabelle and Juba regions where Hagaa rains in July and August improved body conditions and put upward pressure on prices.

• Price trends were mixed in Ethiopia, Uganda, and Tanzania. Prices seasonally increased and peaked in Ethiopia as the July-to-September lean season came to an end, except in the northeastern region where prices declined seasonally with the start of early harvest. Increased purchases by Ethiopia Grain Trade Enterprise (EGTE), increased exports to Kenya, expectations of below-to-average October-to-January harvest because of Fall Armyworm infestation, and delayed and reduced relief assistance kept prices above average in Ethiopia (Figure 7). In Uganda, poor rainfall caused atypical spatial price variations. The May-to-August harvest in the main producing southern regions brought price decreases to the central and northern regions of Tanzania, while increased regional demand drove price increases in the southern region. The lingering effects of last season’s below-average harvests sustained prices higher than 2016 and average levels in Uganda and Tanzania.

• Prices followed seasonal trends across most markets in Kenya and Sudan but remained above average in both countries. Increasing supplies from the August-to-September harvest, the start of the September-to-January season in the main producing North Rift region, and regional and international imports put downward pressure on prices in Kenya, keeping them stable or declining in most markets. Subsidized wheat flour, food relief in pastoral areas, and the Government’s announcement of a lower purchase price for strategic grain reserves also helped moderate prices. In Sudan, prices were generally seasonally stable or increased as supplies tightened with the progression of the lean season. Ample supplies from previous above average harvest in Sudan moderated the seasonal increase in prices, but high inflation rate kept prices above average.

SOUTHERN AFRICA

Current Situation

• In Southern Africa, maize supplies on markets throughout the region were at average to above average levels. The 2017 maize harvest prospects are above average for most countries. South Africa and Zambia continued exporting maize to regional grain deficit countries and beyond. Formal and informal maize trade ensured movement of surpluses to deficit areas of the region.

• Maize prices were generally stable September (Figure 8) at a time when prices typically begin to increase seasonally. Prices remain below their respective 2016 and average levels in the region. Local rice (gasy) and maize harvests in Madagascar are below average. However, the country continued importing rice, ensuring regular supplies of imported rice on local markets. Rice prices in Madagascar are elevated compared to historical levels.

• After importing aggressively from international markets through February, South Africa ceased importing in April. Maize export parity prices declined persistently in recent months due to the availability well above average harvests for the 2017/18 marketing year. Prices in South Africa are now at international reference market price levels. These trends continued encouraging exports (and re-exports) to regional markets and beyond (Figure 9). Recent data from FEWS NET’s informal trade monitoring system indicate that favorable export parity prices coupled with the recent removal of the official maize export restrictions that were recently in place in Zambia resulted in substantial increases in regional exports during the current marketing year.

• Maize grain prices declined sharply during the first months of the marketing year and have since stabilized in many places. Prices are well below their respective 2016 and average levels in most countries. Prices of common substitutes such as maize meal, rice, and cassava varied, but are generally below their respective 2016 levels. Imports into Zimbabwe from regional and international markets are well below average, but persist, despite an ongoing import ban. Prices increased in the surplus-producing southern highlands of Tanzania due to strong local demand and export demand from East Africa. While markets were disrupted by the effects of Enawo in the northeast of Madagascar, production prospects improved in the southern-most areas of the country, easing pressure on local supplies and prices. Prices were generally stable or declining in August.

Outlook

• Regional maize supplies are expected to remain at average to above-average levels throughout the marketing year. Trade between South Africa and Zambia, and regional grain deficit countries is likely to be dynamic but relatively weak given above average domestic supplies in most countries. International exports may however remain strong, as South Africa is likely going to continue exporting to East Asia and to global markets, while Zambia may continue exporting (formally and informally) to East Africa. Malawi and Mozambique are likely to continue trading informally to satisfy localized gaps, especially in border areas. Local rice supplies in Madagascar are likely to be augmented by imports. Maize prices are expected remain near or below average throughout the marketing year. In South Africa, maize prices are likely to remain depressed throughout the marketing year, encouraging regional and international trade. Local and imported rice prices in Madagascar are expected to remain above 2016 levels.

CENTRAL AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN

Current Situation

• The ongoing average to above-average Primera production, the main maize harvest, seasonally increased maize supplies throughout the region. White maize prices followed seasonal trends as the harvest started, decreasing in Guatemala and Honduras, and remaining stable in Nicaragua and El Salvador. Increased formal imports from the United States and Mexico since January 2017 as a result of formal trade agreements continued to support supplies in Guatemala. In El Salvador, government facilitated imports and market interventions to limit price speculation have helped moderate prices in 2017. Maize prices are below 2016 and average levels across the region (Figure 10).

• Bean availability also increased as supplies from the Primera harvest began or continued to reach markets, causing prices to seasonally decrease in Nicaragua, Honduras and El Salvador, and stabilize in Guatemala. Estimated current above average supply in Nicaragua and, to a lesser extent in Honduras, supported higher regional exports to El Salvador than in 2016. Bean prices remained below 2016 and average levels in Nicaragua, Honduras, and El Salvador, but near average and 2016 in Guatemala following anomalously high prices since July 2016. Informal flows to Guatemala from Mexico also continued supporting the market supply.

• In Haiti, maize and bean supplies from the Printemps harvest began tightening in some markets with the start of été season planting. Local maize prices were mostly stable but increased by 13 percent in the Port-au-Prince market. Globally, black bean prices were firm but remain above average levels (Figure 11). Black bean prices, however, eased in Jérémie owing to harvest from the mountainous areas. Nationally, imported rice remains largely available with stable prices for most markets, except Port-au-Prince and Jacmel where prices increased by 15 percent.

Outlook

• In Central America, following the end of the Primera season in October, the Postrera season is expected start on time at the beginning of December and have average production. Maize and bean prices are likely to continue to seasonally decrease until December/January, driven by ongoing increase in supply from the Primera and the upcoming Postrera seasons, and then begin to increase during the post-harvest period starting in January/February. The average to above-average supply of both maize and beans will sustain below-average prices through May 2018 for El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Guatemala will also show below-average prices for maize, but near average prices for beans.

• In Haiti, local bean and maize prices will tighten from increased seed demand for été season planting. Imported rice will continue to remain available due to ample global supplies. Imported rice prices will, however, depend on the evolution of ongoing socio-political turmoil as well as the Haitian gourde to USD exchange rate. An import restriction by the Haitian government will continue to limit supply of key staples such as cooking oil and wheat flour, which are typically imported from the Dominican Republic. The recent removal of fuel subsidies has resulted in higher transportation costs that will continue to place an upward pressure on staple food prices.

CENTRAL ASIA Current Situation

• Regional availability and price trends varied considerably across Central Asia with the progression of the 2017/18 marketing year (Figure 12 and Table 1). As detailed in the updated Central Asia Regional Wheat Supply and Market Outlook, regional wheat deficits are expected to be filled through intra-regional trade.

• Wheat flour and grain prices have been generally stable, reflecting trends in Kazakhstan, the main exporter in the region, despite the ongoing harvest. Stagnant prices are mainly due to low trade activity and excessive rainfall delaying harvest activities. Generally, the price of wheat has declined in exporting countries and remains stable in importing countries.

• Wheat flour prices in Tajikistan remained relatively unchanged in September but were higher than last year mainly due to the weak local currency and increased fuel costs. Prices of potatoes, another staple, were above August 2016 prices after concerns over reduced availability of a high-quality crop in export markets.

• Wheat grain and flour prices in major markets of Pakistan, were relatively stable and generally lower than a year earlier, reflecting average production and above-average carry-over stocks. Both basmati and IRRI rice prices were stable between August and September in major markets, but rice prices are generally higher compared to last year and the five-year average in major markets.

• In Afghanistan, though the 2017 wheat harvest was below average, wheat grain and flour prices were relatively stable between September and October. In general, prices of mostly-imported wheat flour weakened in September and were lower than a year earlier due to the steady flow of imports from Kazakhstan and Pakistan.

Outlook

• Regional availability and price trends are expected to continue to vary across Central Asia.

• The 2016/17 wheat harvest in Kazakhstan is estimated to be seven percent lower than last year due to the reduction in areas planted but the aggregate 2017 cereal production is estimated to be well above the five-year average. Aggregate cereal exports in the 2017/18 marketing year are forecast to be slightly lower than last year due to expectations of smaller demand for wheat outside of Central Asia (FAO/GIEWS). Kazakhstan is expected to maintain steady exports of wheat contributing to stable regional supplies.

• In Tajikistan, the wheat harvest will reportedly be seven percent higher than last year’s below-average level, likely reducing the import requirement of wheat and wheat flour to one million tons, about 11 percent lower than the previous season’s level (FAO/GIEWS). However, due to the weak national currency, nominal prices of wheat grain and flour are likely to remain high.

• Production in Pakistan for the 2017/18 marketing year is expected to reach 25.2 MMT, similar to last year and the five-year average (USDA/FAS). Average production for the last couple of years resulted in above-average carry-over stocks (nearly double the five-year average), which will help to maintain price stability at the national level and promote exports to Afghanistan.

• In Afghanistan, findings from the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock indicate that the 2017 harvest is below-average. Domestic and regional supply conditions will contribute to stable prices in Afghanistan. Below average casual labor wages will impact the purchasing power of many across the country but especially in urban areas.

FEWS NET is a USAID-funded activity. The content of this report does not necessarily reflect the view of the United States Agency for International Development or the United States Government.

The Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) monitors trends in staple food prices in countries vulnerable to food insecurity. The Price Watch Annex 1 provides prices

and price changes for key markets and staple foods monitored across FEWS NET countries and regions. The prices are final monthly average prices for September 2017. Commodities

included in the Annex are the staples most often consumed by the poor in the indicated market. Additional commodities provided are important commodities consumed in the same

areas or fuel prices that affect food prices. Final monthly average prices are used. The symbols (▲►▼) depict the direction of price changes: the red upward-facing arrow denotes an

increase of five percent or greater. The blue horizontal arrow denotes no change or changes that are smaller than 5 percent, and the green downward-facing arrow denotes price

decreases that are five percent or greater. The three arrows respectively correspond to the percent change in prices this month compared to last month, last year, and the five-year

average. The “-“ symbol indicates that data are not available. The commodities with a reference (W) are wholesale prices. Otherwise, all reported prices are retail.
