“Feeling” Volatility Daily Quotations of selected export prices

Towards AMIS The Food Price Surge and Crisis of 2007/08 International prices peak in June up 80 percent in two years! World Food Summit (November 2009) Renewed commitment to eradicate hunger Extraordinary Meeting of FAO Intergovernmental Groups on Grains and Rice (September 2010) – In response to fears over a repeat of the 2007/08 crisis in 2010/11 following the severe drought and export restrictions by the Russian Federation Recognized a) The lack of reliable and up-to-date information on crop supply and demand and export availability b) Insufficient market transparency at all levels including in relation to futures markets c) Growing linkage with outside markets, in particular the impact of “financialization” on futures markets d) Unexpected changes triggered by national food security situations e) Panic buying and hoarding Recommended a) analyses of alternative approaches to mitigating food price volatility, with a view to support policy decision-making b) new mechanisms to enhance transparency and manage the risks associated with new sources of market volatility c) exploring ways of strengthening FAO’s partnerships with other relevant Organizations working on these issues

… Towards AMIS G20 Seoul Summit (November 2010) The Seoul Consensus identified nine key pillars in its Multi-Year Action Plans for Development, among them food security. In this regard, it invited relevant international organizations to develop, for 2011 Summit in France, proposals to better manage and mitigate risks of food price volatility without distorting market behavior. The consortium of several international organizations (FAO, IFAD, IFPRI, IMF, OECD, UNCTAD, WFP, the World Bank, WTO, and the UN HTLF) prepared a report on Price Volatility in Food and Agricultural Markets. The Report included a list of ten recommendations, of which one called for the establishment of an Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS) in order to enhance the quality, timeliness and reliability of food market outlook information. G20 Agriculture Ministers Meeting (June 2011) The Ministerial meeting adopted the Action Plan on Food Price Volatility and Agriculture. The Action Plan focused on five main pillars: i) improving agricultural production and productivity; ii) increasing market information and transparency; iii) strengthening international policy coordination; iv) reducing the effects of price volatility for the most vulnerable; and v) improving the functioning of agricultural commodity derivatives’ markets. A Scoping Report for G20: Improving Food Market Transparency and policy Response for Food Security: AMIS (May 2011): This report by FAO, IFAD, IFPRI, OECD, UNCTAD, WFP, the World Bank, WTO, and the UN HLTF proposed to establish AMIS. The scoping report reviewed the existing global food market outlook information mechanisms, identified problems and gaps, and determined the scope, structure and operations of AMIS.

… Towards AMIS The G20 Cannes Summit (November 2011) Endorses the Action Plan Launch of AMIS and Global Agricultural Geo-monitoring Initiative to increase market information and transparency (September 2011):  The "Agricultural Market Information System" (AMIS) in Rome on September 15-16, 2011, to improve information on markets. It will enhance the quality, reliability, accuracy, timeliness and comparability of food market outlook information.  The "Global Agricultural Geo-monitoring Initiative" in Geneva on September 22-23, 2011, to coordinate satellite monitoring observation systems in different regions of the world in order to enhance crop production projections and weather forecasting data.

Improve agricultural market information, analyses and forecasts at both national and international levels Report on abnormal international market conditions including structural weaknesses, as appropriate Strengthen global early warning capacity Collect and analyse policy information, promote dialogue and international policy coordination Build data collection capacity in participating countries Objectives

Structure Building on existing mechanisms and institutions AMIS Participants and Coverage: Participants include the G20, Spain and, at least, seven non- G20 countries who are invited to join. The seven countries have been selected on the basis of their significant share in global production and trade for the four (initially) commodities covered by AMIS: Wheat, Rice, Maize and Soybean. The seven countries are: Egypt, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, the Philippines, Thailand, Ukraine, and Vietnam. AMIS Secretariat: It is formed by FAO, IFAD, IFPRI, IGC, WFP, OECD, World Bank, WTO, UNCTAD, and the UN-HLTF. It is responsible for producing market outlooks, assessments and analyses, and for supporting all functions of the Forum and the Information Group. It is housed in FAO’s Trade and Markets Division. The Information Group: It consists of technical representatives (Focal Points) from participant countries. Focal Points provides national market and policy information to the Secretariat. It meets twice a year. The Rapid Response Forum: It is composed of Senior Officials from participant countries. It aim to foster early discussion among decision-level officials about abnormal international market conditions to encourage coordination of policies. It meets as needed, but in principle not less than once a year. AMIS Chair: Presides over meetings of the Forum and the Information Group. Elected for one year from the participating countries.
