WTO agriculture talks restart with new chair (News Harvest)  

February 13, 2023


News Harvest, the WTO’s monthly food and farm policy trade news round-up, quotes the February edition of the “Market Monitor” produced by the Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS), which reported that fertilizer prices had fallen by 40 percent from record levels last year, but were still almost twice their level two years ago. 

“A feature article in the same publication identified seven ongoing concerns for food security in 2023, despite the fall in prices, drawing on a blog post by experts at the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI).”
