PRICE WATCH March 2020 Prices April 30, 2020 This Price Watch report summarizes market and price trends in March 2020 as the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated measures to suppress its transmission spread across countries covered by FEWS NET’s food security early warning analysis. This analysis will be updated in future reports as the current and anticipated impacts of the current pandemic on market activities are better understood.

KEY MESSAGES

• In West Africa, market supplies decreased in March compared to the previous month due to seasonal stock depletion,but also COVID-19 related social distancing and market and trade disruptions. Overall market demand remained belowaverage, despite recent panic purchases related to COVID-19 and in preparation for Ramadan. Cross-border flowsreduced substantially with the introduction of movement restrictions. Additionally, staple food and livestock marketdisruptions persisted in the Greater Lake Chad basin, the Tibesti region, and the Liptako-Gourma region. Both local andimported rice prices were above average in Coastal countries, while coarse grain prices were below average in the Sahel,except in deficit areas. Several governments imposed or tighten controls to limit excessive prices increases (Page 3).

• In East Africa, staple food price trends varied, following local seasonal trends across much of the region. Prices declinedseasonally in Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, and Tanzania and were stable or increased seasonally across southern Somalia,South Sudan, and consumption markets of Uganda. Prices continued increasing atypically in Sudan and remained aboveaverage in many areas of the region due to persistent high inflation and foreign exchange depreciation. Livestock pricesremained stable at elevated levels due to favorable rangeland conditions earlier in the year (Page 4).

• In Southern Africa, maize supplies on major markets remained at average to below-average levels while maize grainprices remained well above average. Month-on-month trends varied as is usual at this time of year. South Africacontinued to supply maize to structurally-deficit countries of the region, while Zambia maintained a formal ban on maizeexports. Informal exports continued from Zambia, Mozambique, and Tanzania into neighboring countries (Page 5).

• In Central America, maize and beans supplies were average and markets were supplied with beans from the recentPostrera harvest and carryover maize stocks from the main Primera harvest. Maize and beans prices followed seasonaltrends in March, maize generally remained above average while bean prices remained below average. In Haiti, marketswere adequately supplied with both local and imported staple foods. Staple food prices were stable, except for localblack bean prices that increased significantly. Staple food prices remained significantly above average (Page 6).

• In Central Asia, wheat prices rose sharply inAfghanistan while prices decreased moderately inPakistan. Wheat export prices were stable on averagein Kazakhstan. In Yemen, the broader conflict andmacroeconomic context continued to disrupt overallmarket functioning and food access with staple foodprices remaining above average (Page 7).

• International staple food markets remained wellsupplied. Rice prices increased while wheat, maize and soybean prices decreased on average (Figure 2).Global crude oil prices fell on above average supplylevels and expectations for a downturn in globaleconomic activity while global fertilizer price trendsvaried in March (Page 2).

INTERNATIONAL MARKETS

Current situation (March 2020) • International rice prices increased on average in March in

response to tightening supplies and strong demand as countries moved to assure domestic supplies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic (InterRice). Rice prices were above March 2019 and 5-year average levels (Figure 2).

• Global maize prices decreased on average in March due to a positive supply outlook for the Southern Hemisphere and weakened demand for ethanol. Maize prices were below March 2019 and 5-year average levels (FAO and USDA).

• International wheat prices were stable or declined in March due to a positive supply outlook and falling oil prices (IGC and USDA). Wheat price trends were mixed relative to March 2019 and 5-year average levels.

• Global soybean prices were on average stable or falling in March on growing concerns over the negative impact of COVID-19 on global economic activity (AMIS and IGC). Soybean prices were significantly below March 2019 levels but remain above 5-year average levels.

• International crude oil prices fell for a third consecutive month on expectations of a 2020 global economic downturn (Figure 4). Crude oil prices were below March 2019 levels and 5-year average levels (U.S. Energy Information Administration). Global fertilizer price trends were mixed in March and remained below March 2019 and 5-year average levels (AMIS and WB).

Outlook • Global rice production to fall marginally on expectations for

a smaller Asian crop but will continue to outpace consumption levels. Rice prices are expected to trend upward through the second quarter of 2020 (InterRice and AMIS).

• Global maize production is expected to fall below year earlier levels (Figure 3) while trade and prices could be marginally higher. 2019/20 ending stocks to fall marginally (IGC and USDA).

• Global wheat production is expected to recover in 2019/20 from last year’s reduced levels. Trade is expected to rebound year-on-year due to increased demand from Asia and Africa, while prices will increase moderately (USDA and AMIS).

• Global soybean production is projected to lower in 2019/20 with stocks falling below last season’s historic record. Chinese demand to be weak and prices are not projected to recover in 2020 (USDA and AMIS).

• Crude oil supplies are expected to remain above average even with an April 2020 OPEC+ agreement on production cut targets, while prices are expected to continue easing through Q2 2020 (U.S. Energy Information Administration). Global fertilizer supply could tighten on lower exports from China, while prices could increase moderately (AMIS and WB).

WEST AFRICA

Current situation (March 2020) • Market supplies were average across the region but

decreased compared to the previous month in most countries due to normal seasonal stock depletion, but also COVID-19 related disruptions (e.g., market closures or limited market opening times, curfews, transport restrictions). Although border restrictions and closures did not apply to the movement of goods, these measures increased transit times and led to reduced trade flows. In addition, persisting insecurity and conflict limited market functioning and access in the Greater Lake Chad basin, the Tibesti region, and the Liptako-Gourma region.

• Despite above-average demand in deficit areas and recent monthly increases in demand in urban areas following the COVID-19 outbreak, overall demand remained below average given substantial trader stocks and lower purchasing powers of households. Export demand and cross-border flows reduced compared to last year and/or average due primarily to COVID-19 related restrictions.

• In Nigeria, month-on-month price increases were recorded given panic buying as households were stocking in preparation for lockdowns. Preparations for Ramadan also contributed to increased demand. At the same time, market supplies reduced due to the COVID-19 restrictions. Prices of locally produced commodities were slightly above average in several markets, while prices of both imported and local rice were substantially above average (Figure 5). Additionally, the Government of Nigeria has lifted the ban on the supply of petroleum products to border communities, although land borders remain closed.

• In the Sahel, coarse grain prices were stable or increasing compared to the previous month and above last year’s levels. In general, coarse grain prices were below average, except in several markets of Niger, where supply was below average (Figure 6). Given reported COVID-19 related speculative pricing by traders, most governments have imposed or tightened controls on price ceilings for specific goods, including imported and manufactured/processed products. In most non-XOF Coastal countries, above-average prices persisted for both local and imported rice.

• In livestock markets, above-average supply was observed in areas in the western Sahel experiencing poor pastoral conditions which incited more sales. Livestock supply was below average in central and eastern areas affected by conflict and trade restrictions. Thus, prices were stable or decreasing compared to the average depending on the above trends.

Outlook (April 2020 onward) • In the Sahel, market supplies will remain sufficient to meet demand. Nevertheless, supply of imported commodities as

well as intra-regional trade may be reduced or slowed by COVID-19 related movement restrictions. Prices will follow seasonal trends, increasing in upcoming months with household stock depletion approaching the lean season. Prices will likely be near average, except in Niger where prices will be above average due to reduced supply of imported goods which typically play an important role during the lean season months.

• In Nigeria, as COVID-19 related movement restrictions and lockdowns will likely strengthen and continue to affect food supply and demand. Thus, further price increases are expected in the coming months. Moreover, although global oil price disputes have ended with the OPEC+ agreement to cut production by 9.7 million barrels per day to lift up prices, the reduction in supply is still not enough to offset the impact of COVID-19 related reductions in global demand (Bloomberg.com). Nigeria’s reduction in oil export earnings may lead to the depreciation of the Naira, which could affect both domestic prices and regional trade dynamics. Similarly, anticipated reductions on key export commodity prices may lead to the further depreciation of currencies in Sierra Leone and Liberia and may put upward pressure on the cost of imports.

EAST AFRICA

Current situation (March 2020) • Market and price trends varied across East Africa in March

(Figure 7). Maize prices followed seasonal declining trends across most markets in Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, and Tanzania because of increased supply from recent or upcoming harvests while maize prices increased seasonally in surplus-producing areas of southern Somalia. Sorghum prices were stable or declined seasonably in most markets in Somalia, South Sudan and Ethiopia because of increased supplies from recent harvests.

• The prevailing calm in South Sudan continues to facilitate trade flows, livelihoods, and market recovery across much of the country. However, local conflict negatively affected market functioning and trade flows in Central Equatoria State (Sudan Tribune 2020). Staple food prices remained above average in most markets for various reasons including delayed harvests from the previous harvest (Uganda, Kenya) and high levels of inflation (South Sudan, Ethiopia, Sudan, Burundi). Livestock prices remained stable at above average levels in many areas due to favorable rangeland conditions earlier in the year coupled with additional purchases ahead of Ramadan.

• COVID-19 related movement restrictions have affected market and price trends differently across the region. In Uganda and Kenya, movement restrictions in urban areas have led to reductions in household incomes and effective demand. The Kenyan government has authorized 360,000 MT of maize imports from international markets to attenuate any eventual future food availability concerns linked to the spread of COVID-19 (Daily Nation 2020). In Ethiopia and Tanzania internal and cross-border trade movement restrictions, respectively, have created commodity supply chain delays while simultaneously leading to atypically low or stable trend s in surplus-producing areas. Panic purchases combined with seasonally high demand during Ramadan put additional upward pressure on prices in Sudan.

• Regional currencies have depreciated persistently in many countries of the region in recent years, both in terms of the official and parallel exchange rates (Figure 8). These trends put upward pressure on the cost of imported goods and contribute to the overall inflationary context observed in many parts of the region.

Outlook (April 2020 onward) • Staple food prices are expected to remain above average across most markets in East Africa because tight supplies amidst

high domestic and regional demand and poor economic situations in some countries.

• COVID-19 related movement restrictions are expected to create delays in commodity supply chains while simultaneously reducing household food access (including physical market access and effective demand). Temporary panic purchases may lead to local short-term price increases. Furthermore, the global economic downturn attributed to COVID-19 will likely result in reductions in foreign exchange reserves gained though export earnings (from fuel, cash crops, livestock, and metals) and remittance flows. This will likely lead to further depreciation of local currencies and may contribute to elevated price trends for both imported commodities and their local substitutes.

SOUTHERN AFRICA

Current situation (March 2020) • In Southern Africa, maize supplies on major markets were at

average to below average levels. Carryover stocks from the 2019/20 marketing year are expected to be well below average, while upcoming harvests are expected to be average to above average. Month-on-month trends varied as is usual at this time of year, increasing with the progression of the lean season in some areas and declining with recent harvests in others.

• Despite ongoing COVID-19 movement restrictions, exports from South Africa continued exporting maize grain and products to the grain deficit countries of Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Namibia, and Mozambique. Monthly exports to Zimbabwe continued increasing, facilitated by recent changes to Zimbabwe’s phytosanitary requirements. In Madagascar, staple food market supplies on many markets were below average due to ongoing movement restrictions between the country’s major cities. In Tanzania, border movement restrictions have led to delays in trade flows to neighboring countries, including East Africa.

• In South Africa, export parity prices were stable (Figure 9) and slightly above international reference prices. Domestic maize supplies in 2020/21 are expected to cover domestic consumption needs and exports to regional maize deficit countries. In Zambia prices were above their previous year levels as the currency continued to depreciate. Tanzania’s maize supplies were at average to above-average levels, while maize grain prices declined across key reference markets.

• In Zimbabwe, maize grain and maize meal prices continued increasingly rapidly with the most pronounced increases occurring in Bulawayo (Figure 10). With the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic and the underlying economic conditions, the government of Zimbabwe announced the reintroduction of the USD and the return to a legal dual pricing system. In Malawi, maize grain prices declined, but remained above the recently announced ADMARC purchase prices of MWK 200/kg. In Mozambique, maize grain prices declined but significantly above average, while maize meal and rice prices were more stable and closer to average levels. In DRC, maize meal and cassava flour prices increased rapidly in the first weeks of March in response to panic purchases and stock retention linked to COVID-19 before stabilizing at the end of the month

Outlook (April 2020 onward) • Regional supplies moving into the 2020/21 marketing year are expected to be average, with below average opening

stocks and average production. South Africa is expected to export average to above average volumes to maize deficit countries. Zambia’s maize grain export ban is expected to remain in place. Maize prices likely begin decreasing in March and April but will remain above average.

• The ongoing spread of COVID-19 and resulting restrictions on population movements and social distancing measures enacting may affect regional labor markets and informal trade flow due to the more labor-intensive nature of this work. Export earnings are expected to decline across the region, resulting in further depreciation of local currencies and may put upward pressure on import prices. FEWS NET will monitor harvest prospects, trade flows, and government price and trade policies as other key determinants of prices during the 2020/21 marketing year.

CENTRAL AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN

Current situation (March 2020) • In Central America, markets were supplied with maize

from the 2019 Primera harvest and from international imports, while bean supplies were from the 2019 main Postrera harvest. Maize harvests were average to below-average due to losses in the subsistence-producing Dry corridor during the 2019 Primera season. Informal imports from Mexico continued to support supplies in Guatemala (1).

• Maize prices generally followed seasonal trends in March and increased ahead of the 2020 main Primera harvest. The most notable price increase occurred in Guatemala and El Salvador and were largely driven market speculation in response to COVID-19 related restriction measures.

• Bean prices were stable or decreasing across the region as supplies from the Apante bean harvest in Nicaragua continued to support market availability. Prices were below or close to five-year average levels across the region.

• In Haiti, overall availability of both local and imported staple foods remained adequate in March. There was evidence of localized price spikes in late March after officials announced the first COVID-19 case had been detected in Haiti. Price increase was most significant for local beans as seed demand expanded amid dwindling winter harvest stocks. Staple food prices were significantly above average levels. The Haitian gourde was relatively stable against the USD and surpassed the 100 gourde per dollar threshold following significant depreciation in 2019 (Figure 12).

Outlook (April 2020 onwards) • In Central America, maize and bean prices are expected

to continue following seasonal trends through May, as the Postrera tardía harvest supplies markets. Bean prices are expected to remain at average to below average levels, supported by carryover stocks from 2019 and the Apante harvest in the region. Maize prices are expected to increase seasonally and remain at above average levels. Imported rice availability will remain adequate while prices are likely to change in response to price adjustments in the global rice market. COVID-19 containment measures such as curfews, reduced border and business operations, will continue to impact market functionality in the coming months and could result in localized price spikes. This could be mitigated by measures aimed at improving market availability, including increased tariff quotas and advanced import of staple grains.

• In Haiti, above average cereal import requirements are expected for the remainder of MY 2019/20. Supply of imported staples from the Dominican Republic could be constrained as border closures are maintained to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. Both local and imported staple food prices will likely remain at elevated levels in the coming months. While marketing channels remain largely functional, it is possible this could change over the coming months in the context of further movement restrictions and a significant increase in COVID-19 cases across the country.

CENTRAL ASIA AND YEMEN

Current situation (March 2020) • Regional wheat availability and price trends varied

across Central Asia in March (Figure 13). As detailed in the Central Asia Regional Wheat Supply and Market Outlook, localized wheat deficits are expected to be filled through intra-regional trade. In Yemen, markets remained severely disrupted by ongoing macroeconomic challenges, climate shocks and conflict.

• In Kazakhstan, MY 2020/21 wheat exports are projected to increase moderately after falling sharply in MY 2019/20 (USDA). Wheat export quotas were implemented in late March in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic (USDA). Wheat export prices were stable in March but remained above average levels.

• In Pakistan, wheat harvest were ongoing in March with expectations for a near average 2020 crop. Wheat exports for MY 2020/21 will likely be below average to safeguard domestic availability (USDA). The average national price of wheat fell moderately in March but remained above average levels.

• In Afghanistan, wheat flour prices rose sharply in March due to panic buying and supply disruptions associated with COVID-19 related lock down and border restrictions. Prices increased by 20-30 percent in main urban cities. The average national price for wheat flour increased 20 percent in March and was significantly above both March 2019 and five-year average levels.

• In Yemen food prices were on average stable at above average levels during the month of March (Figure 14). Fuel prices decreased in line with global trends, while locally produced cooking gas prices increased. The supply of seasonally produced vegetables was disrupted as long delays at checkpoints forced traders to use alternative routes to get to markets (FAO). Imported wheat flows continued at the main ports, though at reduced levels.

Outlook (April 2020 onwards) • Border restrictions associated with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will continue to limit cross border trade flows and

influence the availability and prices of wheat and other imported staple foods. Pakistani, wheat exports will continue to contract as it resolves the domestic supply situation and as the government struggles to double wheat procurement to ensure wheat stocks are adequate for coming year. In Afghanistan, the Ministry of Agriculture estimates MY 2019/20 cereal import requirements to be 1.43 MMT. Wheat prices in Afghanistan will likely keep increasing before stabilizing as harvest begins in May/June. Kazakhstan will continue to play an important role in covering wheat import gaps across the region given the country’s recent decision to increase wheat export quotas in the coming months (Reuters).

• In Yemen, food prices are expected to continue increasing through September 2020 due to continued currency depreciation, supply chain delays, and higher transport costs from COVID-19 related movement restrictions. Fuel prices will follow global trends and continue falling in the coming months (FAO). In markets where prices have been particularly unstable, such as Ta’izz and Hajjah, prices will likely be more volatile and exhibit sharper increases.

Food and Fuel Price Trends Food and Fuel Price Trends


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 March 2020. 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.
