A new downward trend beginning for food prices? Short-term: Bulk commodity forecast volumes up
Short/Mid-term: Low oil prices, lower input costs
Long-term: Strengthening dollar
Long-term: Offsetting factor - Growing food demand
Will food prices break from the oil price trend held over the last decade?
Oil price decline driven by U.S. production, strong global supply, weaker global demand growth, higher global inventories
OPEC November policy decision maintain production levels
Global food demand outlook Long-term: Strong demand driven by growing middle-class in developing countries
