Food Prices 2007/2008:2007/2008: -Sharp rise in food prices, thus in food production, mostly in OECD -Increase in the number of undernourished people (963 million) Since July 2008:Since July 2008: -Decline in food prices: -50% for world grain prices -Is this the end of the food crises?

Financial Crisis The current financial crisis will affect agricultural sector in many countries negatively -Lower demand for commodities -Negative expectations may negatively affect demand -Incentives for investment to ensure greater food security are suppressed -economic activity slows, employment falls, remittances decrease -Household income declines, not compensated by lower prices Demand Side Supply Side -Cutback of agricultural production -Decrease in input prices (especially if energy prices decrease) -The overall effect depends on the relative adjustments of input and output prices -Restrictions on the availability of credit

The end of the crisis? Cereal stocks need to be replenishedCereal stocks need to be replenished Lower prices will divert more supply to fuel generating a further decline in agricultural pricesLower prices will divert more supply to fuel generating a further decline in agricultural prices The benefits of higher prices did not accrue to developing countries:The benefits of higher prices did not accrue to developing countries: -Developed countries increased their cereal output by 11% -The developing countries only scored an increase of 1.1% -Cereal production fell by 0.8% (excluding China, India and Brazil) -Dropping prices and economic uncertainty could discourage farmers from investing in means of production -Less planting next season -Significant fall in output in 2009/10 and steeper price surge -Low prices are driven by lower demand: lower prices may be associated with more poverty and hunger Another food crisis?Another food crisis?

Central role of Agriculture Agriculture provides the primary source of livelihood for 36 percent of the world’s total workforceAgriculture provides the primary source of livelihood for 36 percent of the world’s total workforce In sub-Saharan Africa, two-thirds of the working population make their living from agricultureIn sub-Saharan Africa, two-thirds of the working population make their living from agriculture Agriculture is key to poverty reduction: GDP growth generated in agriculture is four times more effective in benefiting the poorest than growth generated outside agricultureAgriculture is key to poverty reduction: GDP growth generated in agriculture is four times more effective in benefiting the poorest than growth generated outside agriculture Increased farm production improves farmers’ incomes thus stimulating demand for the goods and services offered by the small-scale enterprise sectorIncreased farm production improves farmers’ incomes thus stimulating demand for the goods and services offered by the small-scale enterprise sector

The Investment Road Map 1.Improve agricultural productivity and enhance livelihoods and food security in poor rural communities. 2.Develop and conserve natural resources. 3.Expand and improve rural infrastructure and broaden market access. 4.Strengthen capacity for knowledge generation and dissemination. 5.Ensure access to food for the most-needy through safety nets and other direct assistance. FAO has tabled an investment road map to 2015: a annual investment volume of US$ 30 billion in the following five areas would engender an overall annual benefit of US$ 120 billion.
