今天早上偶然听到了这一出新闻， 基於上次关於粮食危机的讨论使得倍感熟悉XD， 资转贴本则新闻以为参考 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 联合国粮农组织5月粮食价格可能连2月滑降 中央社商情焦点 / 2008/05/15 http://times.hinet.net/times/article.do?newsid=1516950&option=society （中央社台北2008年5月15日电）根据彭博社报导，联合国粮农组织政府间谷物集团秘书 长AbdolrezaAbbassian表示，继糖、小麦与其他谷物价格回跌後，5月粮食价格可能连续 第2个月挫跌。 Abbassian在罗马接受电话专访时表示，联合国粮农组织 (FAO)由55种粮食组合的粮食价 格指数4月降至216.7，相较於3月的217，创2007年1月以来首度滑降。全球谷物价格本月 跌势延续，其中小麦挫4.6%，糖价跌6.4%。 Abbassian表示，5月前2周的事件显示5月粮食价格指数可能滑降。除非出现戏剧性变化， 否则5月粮食价格指数没理由攀升。 世界银行表示，全球33个国家因粮食价格飙涨与贫穷情况恶化，恐面临社会骚动。随着中 国、越南与印度等国遏止稻米出口，国际米价4月24日升抵每百磅25.07美元的历史新高。 菲律宾出现抢购粮食人潮，海地与埃及更因此传出暴动。 粮农组织的粮食价格指数纳入基本食物如谷物、蔬菜油、肉类、乳制品与糖等，并不涵盖 可可亚与咖啡。 根据Abbassian提供的数据，肉类和谷类系4月唯一涨价的粮食。4月粮食价格指数216.7， 较上年同期攀升53%，其中以谷类92%与蔬菜油84%的涨幅最大。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 这则新闻基本上就是翻译自彭博社的这一封外电， 既然YAIC是英文化的社团， 所以一并附上bloomberg的原文 Food Prices May Drop for Second Month on Wheat, Sugar, FAO Says By Claudia Carpenter May 15 (Bloomberg) -- Food prices may drop for a second month in May after sugar, wheat and other grains declined, Abdolreza Abbassian of the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization said. The FAO food-price index of 55 foods fell to 216.7 in April from 217 in March, the first slide since January 2007, led by declines in sugar and dairy products, Abbassian, secretary of the FAO's intergovernmental group on grains, said in a phone interview today from Rome. Grains extended declines this month, with wheat down 4.6 percent. Sugar slid another 6.4 percent. ``Events in the first two weeks in May give you an indication that the index in May will perhaps go down,'' said Abbassian. ``I can't see why May should go higher unless something dramatic happens.'' The World Bank has said 33 countries may face unrest because of surging food costs and deepening poverty. Rice reached a record $25.07 per 100 pounds on April 24, after China, Vietnam and India curbed exports. Food lines formed in the Philippines and soaring rice prices caused riots in Haiti and Egypt. The FAO index includes ``basic foods'' from cereals, or grains, to vegetable oils, meat, dairy and sugar. It does not include cocoa and coffee. Meat and cereals were the only groups to rise in April, according to figures from Abbassian. The index at 216.7 in April was 53 percent higher than a year earlier, led by a 92 percent jump in cereals and an 84 percent increase in vegetable oils. 同时，再付上来自於BLOOMBERG的一段约40~50分钟的， 'Feast to famine'︰Facts behind the food crisis特别报导 http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=ajPxgPRnEqbA 因为我不会缩网址，所以请点右边的连结吧XD -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 另外，FAO的FAO FOOD INDEX的正式资料请参考 http://www.fao.org/worldfoodsituation/FoodPricesIndex 上次news sharing引用的是到三月217的资料， 而比较四月与三月的资料， 除了meat之外都出现的回跌的趋势。 仅供大家参考。 以上。 --
