The world food crisis and its incidence in México
Abstract
During the first trimester of 2006, a period of six years of stability
in food prices in México ended, which had previously only been
interrupted by the, relatively moderate, increases at the end of
2004. During the second semester of 2006, the first appreciable
increases in food prices took place, and, since September, increases
intensified, culminating with the elevation of tortilla prices in
January of 2007. During the last two years, from June 2006 to
June 2008, while the general price index for consumers increased
9.4%, the average increase in food was 17.0%. By the end of May
2008, the President of the Republic announced 19 measures to be
taken in order to face the food crisis, covering three central themes:
i) fostering access to international products at the best possible
price, ii) promoting food production, iii) protecting the income
of poor families.
