The rising prices of most agricultural commodities and inputs, as well as retail food prices due to exchange rate factors called for a more in-depth look at the behavior of agricultural prices. In addition to the Food Price Monitoring Initiative by the NAMC, the need to monitor and disseminate information on changes in agricultural input costs was realized. Input cost monitoring and food price monitoring now form part of two of the NAMC’s key research themes, namely agro-food chain analysis and market information systems. It is thus possible to publish trends in farm input costs regularly. Reports exclude regulated inputs such as fuel prices and labour costs.
