摘要
The high food prices experienced over recent years have led to the widespread view that food price volatility has increased. However, volatility has generally been lower over the two most recent decades than previously. Over the most recent period, volatility has been high but, with the important exception of rice, not out of line with historical experience. There is weak evidence that grains' price volatility more generally may be increasing.
