LONDON: Food prices will stagnate over the next decade as the population growth rate declines and income expansion in emerging economies slows.
Food costs will stabilise at a level slightly higher than in the years before the 2007-08 price spike, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the United Nations’ Food & Agriculture Organisation (FAO) said in a joint report. Population growth, the main driver of food prices, will slow to 1% annually through 2025, the organisations said.
