The IFPRI Food Security Portal’s Excessive Food Price Variability Early Warning System is showing excessive levels of price volatility in the four major food commodities: wheat, maize, rice, and soybeans, as well as cotton.

The Russia-Ukraine war has focused global attention on the key economic roles those countries play as major exporters of agricultural commodities.

After the sharp rise in international prices of wheat and other staple foods in the wake of Russia’s February invasion of Ukraine, since May prices have fallen back to pre-war levels. Has the global food price crisis now come to an end?

When Russian troops invaded Ukraine one year ago, the war appeared to pose a grave threat to global food security. The conflict could hardly have come at a worse moment.

Explores key emerging issues facing developing-country agriculture today, from rapid urbanization to rural transformation to climate change

Agricultural Development: New Perspectives in a Changing World is the first comprehensive exploration of key emerging issues facing developing-country agriculture today, from rapid urbanization to rural transformation to climate change.
