今天早上偶然聽到了這一齣新聞， 基於上次關於糧食危機的討論使得倍感熟悉XD， 資轉貼本則新聞以為參考 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 聯合國糧農組織5月糧食價格可能連2月滑降 中央社商情焦點 / 2008/05/15 http://times.hinet.net/times/article.do?newsid=1516950&option=society （中央社台北2008年5月15日電）根據彭博社報導，聯合國糧農組織政府間穀物集團秘書 長AbdolrezaAbbassian表示，繼糖、小麥與其他穀物價格回跌後，5月糧食價格可能連續 第2個月挫跌。 Abbassian在羅馬接受電話專訪時表示，聯合國糧農組織 (FAO)由55種糧食組合的糧食價 格指數4月降至216.7，相較於3月的217，創2007年1月以來首度滑降。全球穀物價格本月 跌勢延續，其中小麥挫4.6%，糖價跌6.4%。 Abbassian表示，5月前2週的事件顯示5月糧食價格指數可能滑降。除非出現戲劇性變化， 否則5月糧食價格指數沒理由攀升。 世界銀行表示，全球33個國家因糧食價格飆漲與貧窮情況惡化，恐面臨社會騷動。隨著中 國、越南與印度等國遏止稻米出口，國際米價4月24日升抵每百磅25.07美元的歷史新高。 菲律賓出現搶購糧食人潮，海地與埃及更因此傳出暴動。 糧農組織的糧食價格指數納入基本食物如穀物、蔬菜油、肉類、乳製品與糖等，並不涵蓋 可可亞與咖啡。 根據Abbassian提供的數據，肉類和穀類係4月唯一漲價的糧食。4月糧食價格指數216.7， 較上年同期攀升53%，其中以穀類92%與蔬菜油84%的漲幅最大。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 這則新聞基本上就是翻譯自彭博社的這一封外電， 既然YAIC是英文化的社團， 所以一併附上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. 同時，再付上來自於BLOOMBERG的一段約40~50分鐘的， 'Feast to famine'︰Facts behind the food crisis特別報導 http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=ajPxgPRnEqbA 因為我不會縮網址，所以請點右邊的連結吧XD -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 另外，FAO的FAO FOOD INDEX的正式資料請參考 http://www.fao.org/worldfoodsituation/FoodPricesIndex 上次news sharing引用的是到三月217的資料， 而比較四月與三月的資料， 除了meat之外都出現的回跌的趨勢。 僅供大家參考。 以上。 --
