POLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPER 4682 A Note on Rising Food Prices Donald Mitchell The World Bank Development Prospects Group JULY 2008 POLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPER 4682 Abstract The rapid rise in food prices has been a burden on the poor in developing countries, who spend roughly half of their household incomes on food. This paper examines the factors behind the rapid increase in internationally traded food prices since 2002 and estimates the contribution of various factors such as the increased production of biofuels from food grains and oilseeds, the weak dollar, and the increase in food production costs due to higher energy prices. It concludes that the most important factor was the large increase in biofuels production in the U.S. and the EU.
Without these increases, global wheat and maize stocks would not have declined appreciably, oilseed prices would not have tripled, and price increases due to other factors, such as droughts, would have been more moderate.

The Morrison Institute for Population and Resource Studies is a research unit within the School of Humanities and Sciences.
The objective of the Institute is to lead the interdisciplinary study of population growth and its effects on social structures, national economies, resource availability, and the environment throughout the world. The three major facets to this endeavor — research, education, and contribution to the formation of policy — overlap in the major programs of the Institute. These programs include: International exchange. The visiting fellows’ program brings scholars to Stanford from developed and less-developed countries to study population, environment, resource management, and sustainable development.
