As the second event in IFPRI’s seminar series on high food and fertilizer prices, this seminar examined how global commodity prices are transmitted at the national level and what other country-specific aspects influence retail prices. Program speakers will address key considerations for highly food-insecure and import-dependent countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean. Short presentations will focus on Rwanda, Yemen, and Ethiopia.
