The food bill continues to rise all over the planet. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) staple food price index continues to climb. He is now a hair’s breadth away from his historic record in February 2011 (137.6 points). In November, the index, which represents the average basket of consumers, rose 1.2%. It now stands at 134.4 points, unheard of since June 2011. The FAO index reached comparable levels in 2007-2008, a period marked by major food riots in Africa.
