FAO – Food Outlook, Nov 2023

FAO's latest forecasts predict that there will be an increase in the production and stocks of various important food products. However, there are still vulnerabilities that pose a threat to global food production systems. These vulnerabilities include weather conditions, geopolitical tensions, and policies that could potentially disrupt the delicate balance between food supply and demand, thus affecting global food security. To address these potential shocks, FAO has released the latest edition of the Food Outlook publication. This publication, released twice a year, provides market summaries based on FAO's analysis of supply and demand trends for major food products. It also examines trends in food import bills, international food prices, and futures markets in order to promote transparency in global food markets. The Food Outlook publication is available in multiple languages, ensuring that it can be accessed by a diverse audience. This report provides valuable information for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders in the agricultural and food sectors, helping them make informed decisions and take necessary actions to ensure global food security.
