Food Price Index
Target

2.c Adopt measures to ensure the proper functioning of food commodity markets and their derivatives and facilitate timely access to market information, including on food reserves, in order to help limit extreme food price volatility
Goal

2- End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
Definition

This indicator is composed of two time series:

- Indicator of Food Price Anomalies (IFPA) - Consumer Food Price Index
Theoretical formula

Indicator of Food Price Anomalies (IFPA)

\[IFPA^{t} = \frac{1}{12} \cdot \sum_{m=1}^{12} IFPA_{m}^{t}\]

where:

$IFPA_{m}^{t}$ = food price anomaly indicator for month $m$ of year $t$


Consumer Food Price Index

\[IPC_{food}^{t} = \frac{1}{12} \cdot \sum_{m=1}^{12} IPC_{food,m}^{t}\]

where:

$IPC_{food,m}^{t}$ = consumer price index for food in month $m$ of year $t$

This section provides more information about the United Nations indicator or the European Union Sustainable Development Indicator, such as its rationale, international results, metadata, and other relevant statistics.

Rationale

The Food Price Anomaly Indicator (FPAI) identifies abnormally high market prices. The FPIAI is based on a weighted compound growth rate that represents both intra- and year-over-year price growth.

The indicator directly assesses price growth during a particular month over many years, taking into account seasonality in agricultural markets and inflation, thereby answering the question of whether a price change is abnormal for a given period.

The indicator is only a guide to understanding market dynamics. As such, it cannot be relied upon as the sole indicator to determine whether the price of a food product in a particular market at a given time is abnormally high or low due to the direct effects of local policies. The results must be weighed against other available information on market fundamentals, the macroeconomic context, and external shocks.
Comparability between the available indicator and the UN indicator

The available indicator does not comply with the UN indicator metadata, but provides complementary information.
