Join us for an insightful webinar exploring how global shocks influence food prices in developing and least developed countries. The session will feature new research examining how energy price fluctuations and climate events affect the cost of staple foods and what this means for food security and policy responses.
The webinar will include two presentations:
-
Impact of Energy Price Shocks on Local Food Prices: A Transmission Analysis by Dr. Lotanna Emediegwu, which examines how international oil price shocks affect retail prices of maize, sorghum, rice, and wheat across 23 developing countries.
-
Food Price Dynamics under ENSO Events: A Panel Local Projections Analysis by Dr. Marco Rogna, which analyses how climate events such as El Niño and La Niña influence food price trends, particularly in vulnerable regions such as Sub-Saharan Africa.
The discussion will provide valuable insights into the drivers of food price volatility and their implications for food security, markets, and policy in developing economies.
