KEY MESSAGES
• In West Africa, supplies continued to decrease during the lean season in August. Demand remained seasonally high andabove average due to increased replenishment of stocks, though humanitarian assistance was reduced pressure intargeted zones. Staple food prices remained above the five-year average, especially in Nigeria. Conflict-related marketdisruptions were reported across parts of Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Nigeria, Chad, and Cameroon. Cross-border traderemained below average due to lingering COVID-19 restrictions, harassment along corridors, transport costs,governmental restrictions, and insecurity-related disruptions (Page 3).
• In East Africa, staple food prices followed seasonable but divergent trends. Prices declined in most markets in SouthSudan due to the start of the greenbelt harvest and ongoing supply from the May-to-August harvest in Tanzania andUganda. Prices remained stable in both Kenya as supplies from the July-to-September harvest started to enter marketsand in Somalia due to the below-average harvest. Prices increased seasonably in Burundi and Ethiopia as suppliestightened, but price trends varied across Sudan. Livestock prices declined seasonably in most markets as the July-to-August export season ended. Chronic poor macroeconomic conditions sustained elevated prices in Ethiopia, Sudan,South Sudan, Burundi, and Somalia (Page 4).
• In Southern Africa, markets and the milling subsector are well-supplied, with maize following above-average productionduring the 2020/21 production year, except in Madagascar, where supply was below average. Intra-regional informaltrade is below average due to domestic availability and limited import demand. Prices began increasing seasonally inAugust, trends that will persist through the lean season. Prices are lowest in Malawi and South Africa. South Africa hascontinued to export yellow maize to international markets while nearly half of white maize exports were regional. Theregion has benefitted from firm international commodityprices, supporting export earnings (Page 5).
• In Central America, markets were well supplied andoperating normally. Maize prices were stable orincreased seasonally. Local bean and imported rice priceswere similarly stable. In Haiti, local maize and black beanprices declined following spring harvests. Imported riceprices were stable while other imported staplescontinued to experience depreciation-induced priceincreases. Markets were disrupted following theearthquake in the Sud department (Page 6).
• In Central Asia, wheat prices were stable in August butremained significantly above five-year average levels. Wheat prices in Kazakhstan were similar to 2020 levels, while prices were elevated relative to 2020 in Afghanistan and Pakistan. In Yemen, staple food prices remained significantly above average due to protracted conflict and persistent YER depreciation. Food and fuel price trends differed significantly between internationally recognized government (IRG) and Sana’a-based authorities (SBA) controlled areas (Page 7).
• International staple food markets are well supplied. Rice, maize, and soybean prices decreased on average in August,while wheat prices exhibited mixed trends (Figure 2). Global crude oil prices were stable on expectations for market re-balancing during the second half of 2021, while global fertilizer prices were generally stable in August (Page 2).

INTERNATIONAL MARKETS
Current situation (August 2021)
• International rice prices decreased further in August due tostrong competition, favorable crop prospects, rising freightcost, and weak demand (InterRice). Prices were belowAugust 2020 levels and the five-year average (Figure 2).
• International maize prices were stable or decreased inAugust as trading activity slowed down due to lower exportexpectations. Concerns remain over dry conditions in theU.S. despite an overall favorable global outlook. Maizeprices remain significantly above 2020 and five-yearaverage levels (FAO and USDA).
• International wheat prices increased in August due toongoing concerns over the likely impact of dry conditionson the North American spring crop and reflect adeterioration of several major producers' productionprospects. The global wheat supply outlook for 2021 waslowered since the previous report in July (IGC and USDA).Wheat prices remain significantly above August- 2020 andfive-year average levels.
• International soybean prices decreased further in Augustdue to lower Chinese demand and a generally favorableoutlook for the recently concluded southern hemisphereharvests (AMIS and IGC). Soybean prices remain significantlyabove 2020 and five-year average levels.
• International crude oil prices decreased in August inanticipation of supply increases over the coming months.Prices remained significantly above 2020 and five-yearaverage levels (U.S. Energy Information Administration).Global fertilizer prices trends varied but remained above2020 and five-year average levels (AMIS and WB).
Outlook (September 2021 onward)
• Rice production is expected to increase and continue to outpace consumption levels (Figure 3). Trading activity will likelyincrease during the second half of 2021, and prices are expected to be near 2020 levels (InterRice and WB).
• Maize production is projected to increase moderately in MY 2021/22, while trade activity will likely be weaker year-on-year. Stocks ending 2021 are now expected to fall for a third consecutive season. Maize prices are expected to remainsignificantly above 2020 levels (IGC and WB).
• Wheat production is expected to increase in MY 2021/22, while trade will be close to year-earlier levels. 2021 wheatprices are expected to remain significantly above 2020 levels (USDA and WB).
• Soybean production is projected to increase above the record set in 2018/19 during MY 2021/22 while stocks could fallto a three-year low. 2021 soybean prices are expected to remain significantly above 2020 levels (USDA and WB).
• Crude oil markets are expected to become more balanced through the end of 2021 with prices easing slightly. Globaldemand recovery to remain key price driver (U.S. Energy Information Administration). Fertilizer supply is expected to bestable in MY 2021/22 while demand may slow down. Prices are projected to increase on average in 2021 (AMIS and WB).

Staple food price trends across the countries monitored by FEWS NET will vary considerably in the coming months in response to local and regional market conditions; international market trends will play a more limited role in most countries (Figure 2). Fuel price trends in FEWS NET countries will depend on both international market conditions, the evolution of local exchange rates in relation to the U.S. Dollar, and the design and implementation of local fuel import and price policies.

WEST AFRICA
Current situation (August 2021)
• Stocks continued to decrease as the lean season peaked inWest Africa. Supplies across much of the region remainedbelow average despite localized early green harvests.Conflict-related market disruptions persisted in the GreaterLake Chad basin, the Liptako-Gourma region, northwestand north-central Nigeria, and the North-West and South-West regions of Cameroon.
• Demand remained seasonally high but above average acrossthe region due to increased replenishment of stocks andabove-average maize purchases by local industries.Nevertheless, humanitarian assistance reportedly reduceddemand pressure on households in targeted zones. Cross-border trade remained below average due to lingeringCOVID-19 restrictions, insecurity, harassment along tradecorridors, transport costs, and some governmentalrestrictions (Burkina Faso, Benin).
• In Nigeria, the NGN further depreciated in the parallelmarket following the decision of the Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN) in late July to ban sales of foreign exchange to Bureaude Change operators. The inflation rate decreased for thefifth consecutive month in August to 17.01 percent butremained among the highest levels recorded in the past fiveyears (NBS). Prices for most staples continued to trendsignificantly above average as many households relied onmarket purchases during the lean season while suppliesremained below average (Figure 4). Nevertheless, with newstocks from early harvests arriving in some markets, therewere recorded price decreases compared to the previousmonth.
• In the Sahel, locally-produced grain prices were stable or increased compared to the previous month but remained aboveaverage in most markets – especially for maize (Figure 5). Also, prices of imported and processed commodities (rice,edible oil, sugar, wheat flour, powder milk) were significantly above average despite price ceilings set by governmentalintervention. In other non-XOF Coastal countries (Ghana, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia), both local and imported riceprices were above average. In Cameroon, prices of locally produced staples seasonally increased at above-average levelsin the Far North region due to increased demand from Nigeria. Also, persisting global transaction costs are maintainingimported rice above average. On the other hand, in conflict-stricken North-West and South-West regions, prices inproduction basins were below-average due to local farmers/traders’ hindered access to national and regional markets.
• In livestock markets, supply is seasonally reducing with good pasture conditions. Prices were above average for smallruminants that remained highly traded locally and below-average, mostly for cattle whose trade remained affected bypersistent insecurity, border restrictions, and a depreciated Naira.
Outlook (September 2021 onward)
• Forecasts indicate cereal production will be between 72 and 79 million metric tons (MMT), one to 12 percent higher thanaverage (PREGEC). Prices will seasonally decrease from September/October with harvests and remain low untilFebruary/March 2022. Prices will likely be above average in most countries due to low carryover stocks, anticipatedlocalized production deficits, substantial replenishment needs, flow restrictions, and higher international prices.
• In Nigeria, as harvest begins, both markets and households' stocks will increase in the coming months until December2021. Thus, market reliance will reduce, as well as food prices, which will likely remain above average.

EAST AFRICA
Current situation (August 2021)
• Prices in East Africa continued to follow divergent butseasonal trends in August. Staple food prices declined inSouth Sudan, remained stable in Kenya and Uganda, andincreased in Burundi and Ethiopia as supplies tightened.Price trends in Somalia and Sudan varied due to localizeddrivers. Livestock prices across the region declined as theexport season ended. Chronic poor macroeconomicconditions and below-average harvests sustained elevatedprices in Ethiopia, Sudan, South Sudan, Burundi, andSomalia.
• In Tanzania, the prices of grains continued to declineseasonably across most markets due to increased suppliesfrom the May-to-August harvest. Maize prices remainedstable in most markets in Kenya due to increased suppliesfrom the below-average July-to-September harvest andcontinued imports from Uganda and Tanzania.
• Staple food prices in Burundi increased seasonably assupplies started to tighten, but the increase was moderatedby a ban on exports of major food crops that increaseddomestic availability. However, dry bean prices declinedatypically due to an above-average July-August harvest.Staple food prices in Ethiopia increased seasonably assupplies tightened but were heightened by conflict-relatedsupply disruptions, delayed and below-average June-to-Julyharvest in south and southwestern markets, and endemiccurrency depreciation that increased the prices of importedsubstitutes in southeastern markets.
• Across Sudan, Sorghum and millet prices exhibited mixedtrends due to the tightening of stocks, speculative measuresby producers, and decreased road access caused by flooddamage. Staple commodity prices across Somalia wereatypically stable due to the below-average June-to-Julyharvest. The average prices of most essential importedcommodities (rice, wheat flour, diesel, sugar, and vegetableoil) were also stable.
• Grain prices declined in most markets in South Sudan due tothe start of the greenbelt harvest and imminent start of themain harvest in October, imports from Uganda and Sudan,increased food aid distribution in northern markets. The prices of pulses, roots, and tubers in Uganda remained stableor declined slightly as supplies from the delayed June-to-July harvest continued to flow into markets amid reducedinstitutional demand as learning institutions remained closed as part of COVID-19 measures
Outlook (September 2021 onward)
• Local currencies in Sudan and South Sudan are expected to gradually strengthen following sustained governmentinterventions. Inflation is also expected to continue to decline, but prices will remain significantly above the five-yearaverage levels
• Prices of stable commodities in Somalia are expected to increase or remain stable due to an anticipated below-averageoff-season September-to-October harvest

SOUTHERN AFRICA
Current situation (August 2021)
• In Southern Africa, regional maize supply for the 2021/22marketing year (MY) is above average. Maize prices werestable or began increasing seasonally in August (Figure 8).Consecutive seasons of drought resulted in locally increasingand volatile prices in southern Madagascar. Prices in SouthAfrica continued to track global reference markets, trendsthat have been transmitted to import-dependentneighboring countries. Intra-regional trade has been limitedto due to ample domestic supplies.
• In South Africa, MY 2021/22 production was above average.Despite favorable domestic and regional production, spotprices increased during the post-harvest period but werestable in August (Figure 8). In Tanzania, maize pricesincreased in August due to increased local demand andexport demand from neighboring Kenya now that Kenya’simport ban has been lifted. In Zambia, the governmentcontinued issuing export permits for maize grainand flour while animal feed export permits remainedsuspended. The Food Reserve Agency’s (FRA) maizepurchase plan was revised downward from 1 million MT to800,000MT. Prices were stable in surplus areas butincreased in deficit areas.
• In Mozambique, maize prices increased seasonally asdemand from local and regional millers increased. Priceincreases in the north were associated with high demandfrom internally displaced persons and humanitarianassistance delivered through cash-based transfers. Thecontinued stability of the MZN contributed to stableimported maize meal and rice prices. In Malawi, maize grainprices increased due to increased demand from ADMARCwhich is purchasing maize at government set producer priceof MWK150/kg, well above the average market price ofMKW100/kg. Prices are nevertheless well below 2020 levelsand among the lowest in the regional (Figure 8).
• In Zimbabwe, maize prices in both USD and ZWL termsincreased but remained below their respective 2020 levels, but were lower than last season prices at the same time.Maize grain transactions on open markets continued in foreign currencies because of a lack of confidence in the ZWL. InDRC, the end of August marked the start of land preparation activities for season A in the Central East and Northeast andan earlier than usual onset of the lean season following below-average season B harvests. Maize grain and flour prices,as well as imported rice and refined vegetable oil prices, remained stable. In Madagascar, local maize and imported riceprices continued to increase while cassava prices declined.
Outlook (September 2021 onward)
• Maize grain market supplies are expected to remain average to above average, given current projections for an above-average 2022 harvest. Increased regional food trade (including trade with East Africa) will lead to increasing maize grainprices in source countries in the short-to-medium term. South Africa will likely continue exporting to internationalmarkets due to strong global maize demand. Local availability is expected to remain constrained in southern Madagascar,resulting in high and variable prices. FEWS NET will monitor the status of local government purchase, sale, anddistribution plans and policies and their impacts on market dynamics and prices, especially in Malawi, Zimbabwe, andZambia.

CENTRAL AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN
Current situation (August 2021)
• In Central America, markets were operating normally andremain supplied with local and imported staple foods. Whitemaize availability was average and relied on recent harvests,stocks, and imports. Bean supply was close to average andcomposed primarily of stocks from recent apante/postreratardía harvests. Formal and informal trade from Mexico wasstable.
• White maize wholesale and retail prices increasedseasonally in August (Figure 10). Prices were above 2020levels, except in Honduras. Rainfall deficits in Nicaragua andHonduras during the primera sowing activities delayedharvests and led to increasing prices.
• Red bean wholesale and retail prices were stable in Augustfrom apante/postrera tardía stocks and imports. Pricesremained below the 2020 average levels in El Salvador butincreased in Honduras and Nicaragua following delayedprimera harvests. Black bean wholesale prices in Guatemalaand Mexico remained stable but were above 2020 and five-year average levels.
• Rice wholesale and retail prices were stable in August dueto ample import availability and steady international prices.Progressive price increases in the preceding monthsresulted in above-average imported rice prices.
• In Haiti, infrastructure damage following the recentearthquake hindered market activities, especially in Suddepartment (e.g. Les Cayes). Insecurity disruptedcommercial activities in Port-au-Prince. In August, localmaize and black bean prices declined on average followingspring harvests. These trends were supported by the availability of food assistance in earthquake-affected areas.Imported rice prices were also stable due to international price stability and decreased market demand due to thepresence of food assistance. The prices of other imported commodities such as cooking oil, wheat flour, and sugarincreased slightly with progressive depreciation of the HTG against the USD coupled with the effects of insecurity-relatedwarehouse closures (Figure 11).
Outlook (September 2021 onward)
• In Central America, white maize prices are expected to decline as primera harvests arrive onto markets and improvegrain availability. In Guatemala, higher industrial demand and increasing fuel and transportation costs may partially offsetthe declining seasonal trend. In Nicaragua and Honduras, the ongoing extended lean season due to delayed primerasowing activities will continue to influence prices in localized areas in September. Formal and informal imports fromMexico may decrease seasonally until October harvests are underway. Red bean prices are likely to remain stablefollowing seasonal trends. Rice supply and price stability are also expected following international market and regionalexchange rate trends.
• In Haiti, above-average import requirements are anticipated for MY 2021/22. Price increases are likely to continueaffecting staple food supply, especially in urban areas, due to anticipated future insecurity and political uncertainty-related disruptions in market operations. The HTG will continue to depreciate against the USD. FEWS NET will continueto monitor food availability and access conditions in Haiti, which is currently faced with multiple shocks.

CENTRAL ASIA
Current situation (August 2021)
• Regional wheat availability and price trends varied acrossCentral Asia in August (Figure 12). Rice availability andprices remained stable. As detailed in the Central AsiaRegional Wheat Supply and Market Outlook, localizedwheat deficits are expected to be largely filled throughintra-regional trade. In Yemen, markets remain severelydisrupted by ongoing macroeconomic challenges andconflict.
• In Kazakhstan, wheat production for MY 2021/22 isexpected to slightly lower than the previous year andaverage levels (USDA). Export prices for milling wheatwere stable in August compared to July and 2020 levelsbut 25 percent above the five-year average. Pakistan’sMY 2021/22 wheat production was 27 MMT, eightpercent above the previous year’s levels (SUPRACO).Wheat prices were stable on average in August but wererespectively 28 and 40 percent higher than 2020 and five-year average levels.
• In Afghanistan, the 2020/21 agricultural season wasimpacted by below-average rainfall resulting fromLa Niña weather conditions. The domestic wheat importgap is estimated at 40 percent higher than the previousyear and 20 percent higher than average. Food pricesincreased in August compared to July following the recentpolitical transition and the resulting pressure on the localeconomy, including hard currency shortages. Wheat flourprices in markets across Afghanistan were on average fivepercent higher in August compared to July, 21 percentabove 2020 levels and 41 percent above the five-yearaverage. Tajikistan, another import-dependent country in the region, is importing wheat grain to mill locally nowthat the import tax rate is lower for wheat grain (10 percent) than for wheat flour (18 percent), discouraging wheat flourimports from traditional trade partners like Kazakhstan.
• In Yemen, staple food prices and exchange rate trends varied between internationally recognized government (IRG) areasand Sana’a based authorities (SBA) controlled areas. The national average price of the minimum survival food basketincreased by four percent in August. The largest price increases persisted in governorates within the IRG, where the YERdepreciated sharply and persistently in recent months (Figure 13). In August, national fuel prices remained significantlyabove 2020- and five-year average levels. In areas controlled by the SBA, the resumption of fuel imports through the RedSea ports since late March has supported improved petrol and diesel availability and price stability (FAO).
Outlook (September 2021 onward)
• In Kazakhstan, aggregate MY 2021/22 wheat availability and exports are projected to be close to MY 2020/21 levels(USDA). In Pakistan, traditionally a wheat exporting country, wheat imports for MY 2021/22 are forecast to remain wellabove the five-year average levels due to low opening stocks and strong domestic demand. In Afghanistan, wheat flourprices are expected to continue rising further. The above-average wheat import gap projected for MY 2020/21 will befilled mainly with regional wheat imports and complemented with imports from some non-traditional trade partners.
• In Yemen, food and fuel prices will likely continue to increase more rapidly in IRG areas in the coming months. Fuel pricesmay experience sharper volatility, particularly across SBA-controlled areas.

FEWS NET is a USAID-funded activity. The content of this report does not necessarily reflect the view of the United States
Agency for International Development or the United States Government.
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 August 2021. 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.
