Abstract

Market prices for staple cereals (and, in the case of pastoralists, for livestock) are widely recognised as important indicators of food security. Food prices tend to be the socio-economic indicator most frequently monitored by EWS, not least because of the relative simplicity of their collection. Price data are a simple way of following changes in purchasing power, one aspect of food entitlement decline. Monitoring the prices of goods which food-insecure people are selling, as well as the cereals they must buy, enables more accurate tracking of exchange entitlements over time. The supply of cereals on markets is also monitored by EWS as an indication of food availability decline.
