1 Market Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit - Somalia September 212 Issued October 18 th, 212 Highlights Inflation: the September Consumer Price Index (CPI) declined slightly in North SoSh areas but remained steady in the rest of the country. Annual inflation rates are significantly lower than their levels a year ago in South-Central but relatively stable in the both northern zones. The cost of living is significantly higher compared to the base period (March 27) in SoSh areas; it is moderately elevated in SlSh areas. Exchange rates between local currencies to the USD remained relatively stable. Compared to the same period a year ago, SlSh lost ground to the USD, whereas SoSh appreciated considerably. The appreciation of the SoSh is attributed to increased supply of dollars through humanitarian interventions, improved economic activities and inward investments, particularly in Mogadishu. On the other hand, the weakened SlSh is mainly due to increased supply and circulation of new currency notes. Local grain prices were mixed; increased in the Sorghum Belt, decreased significantly in the maize basket regions of Juba and Shabelle; remained steady in all other regions. Below average Gu 212 crop production and downscaling of food distribution were the main factors that contributed to the cereal price inflation over the past month. Increased market supply of maize from Gu harvest in riverine areas mitigated cost of cereals in the Shabelle and Juba regions. Compared to a year ago, cereal prices are considerably lower in the South and Central zones and more stable in the North. Prices of most imported commodities were generally stable in September 212. Compared to the same period last year, imported commodity prices are significantly reduced. The decline in prices of imported commodities is mainly attributed to the strengthened SoSh, improved Mogadishu Port operations and humanitarian assistance. Livestock prices were mixed, exhibiting slight monthly increases in most markets but decreasing marginally in Shabelle. Compared to the same month last year, livestock prices are significantly higher across all regions. The annual price appreciation was mainly due to improved body conditions, low supply of saleable stock and high export demand. Labour wages were mixed - holding steady in most regions but reducing in Juba on the backdrop of normal seasonal decline in agricultural labour opportunities. Labour wages are significantly higher compared to their levels a year ago in most markets. This Market Data Update is a monthly report that presents a compilation of tabulated graphical market information produced regularly as part of the monthly monitoring process. The weekly price data is collected from 47 main markets throughout Somalia since 199. Market analysis is an integral part of all of FSNAU s Annual Food Security Projections and seasonal technical reports (Technical Reports on FSNAU Post Gu and Deyr Analysis). This data is available online on (ToT) between labour wage and cereals were generally stable in September. The purchasing power has improved when compared to a year ago due to lower cereal prices, improved goat prices and higher labour wages (Table1).

2 Regional Market Highlights Regional Highlights Juba Valley: Local cereal and imported food prices decreased slightly since August 212, while the value of livestock went up. Prices are significantly lower than a year ago for imported food and local cereals, but significantly higher for livestock. Annual comparisons of ToT between labor and cereals indicate significant improvement in purchasing power. The ToT (1Kg/daily wage rate) sustained its previous month s level. Sorghum Belt: Sorghum prices increased while imported food prices and livestock remained stable. Prices of imports and local cereals are significantly lower compared to their levels a year ago while those of livestock are significantly higher. The ToT between labour and cereals remained stable since August 212. However, when compared to a year ago, the ToT is almost 4-times higher (14kg/daily wage) in Bay region and 1-2 times higher in the rest of the Sorghum Belt regions. Shabelle Valley: Prices of livestock exhibited slight decreases in September while imported food price trends were mixed. Reduced cereal prices enhanced the monthly ToT by 2 percent (currently standing at 12kg for a day s labour). Prices of most imported commodities and cereals are significantly lower when compared to the same month a year ago. Livestock prices, on the other hand, are significantly higher over the same period. Central: Prices remained generally stable over September. Annual comparisons indicate significant decreases in the prices of all items except livestock, which are significantly higher. ToT (rice/ local goat) decreased marginally but is significantly elevated when compared to the same month last year, currently standing at 61kg/local goat. Northeast: Slight monthly reduction recorded for the prices of imported food and sorghum while livestock prices appreciated. Annual price comparisons show significant decline for imported commodities and local cereals while those of livestock are higher. ToT (rice/ local goat) reduced marginally over the month of September but is significantly higher when compared to the same month last year, currently standing at 79kg/local goat. Northwest: Prices of yellow maize and imports increased marginally in September while those of livestock remained stable. Annual price comparison indicates slightly lower prices for imports and cereals and considerably inflated prices for livestock. The monthly ToT between local white sorghum and wages decreased by 1kg from the previous month but is significantly higher than the same month in 211, currently equivalent to about 8kg/daily wage rate. Banadir: In the last month, the prices remained generally stable. With the exception of highly valued livestock, prices of imported and locally produced food are significantly below their levels a year ago. ToT cereal (maize/ labour wage) reduced by 1 kg from 12 kgs a month ago, but is twice as high as the same month in 211.

3 International Market Highlights Diesel: Crude oil prices in Abu Dhabi (Dubai), the main source of Somalia s oil imports, continued to surge through September, rising by 2 percent, to settle at 111/barell 1. According to the International Energy Agency s Oil Market Report (October 212), investor expectations of new economic stimulus measures in the Euro Zone and the perception of increased possibility of war 2 in the Middle East were the main factors driving the crude oil price 3. USD per Litre Figure 1: Diesel Prices: Dubai, Mogadishu and Bossaso International Mogadishu Bossasso In Somalia Port Cities (Bossaso and Mogadishu), diesel prices remained stable when compared to August 212 but declined significantly (29-36%) over the last year as a result of stronger domestic currency (SoSh) and increased supplies following opening up of Mogadishu Port. The annual price decline is also supported by price differential analysis showing that the gap between domestic diesel and global crude oil prices, have shrunk over the past year (September Mogadishu (33%), Bossaso (16%); September Mogadishu (27%), Bossaso (%)). The latter indicates significant influence of local factors on the imported commodity prices on domestic markets (Figure 1) Sep-8 Dec-8 Mar-9 Jun-9 Sep-9 Dec-9 Mar-1 Jun-1 Source: FAO Source: Statistics, FAO FEWSNET Statistics and FSNAU and FSNAU Market Price Market Monitoring Price System, Monitoring 212. System, 212 Figure 2: Rice Prices: Bangkok FOB, Mogadishu and Bossaso Markets Sep-1 Dec-1 International Mogadishu Bossasso Jun-11 Dec-11 Jun-12 Rice: The benchmark Thai rice export price (Thai A1 Super 1/ B) 4 rose marginally in September, averaging USD 4 per tonne; but this price is somewhat elevated (9%) compared to the the same month last year. According to the IGC Grain Market Report (September 212), state intervention programme still remains the key element in Thai rice export price determination. Prices of imported rice in Bossaso and Mogadishu ports in August declined by 3-7 percent frm the previous month. The decline was remarkably significant (34-48%) when compared to the same month a year ago, supported by stronger domestic currency and improved port operations (Mogadishu). The gap between internatational and domestic rice markets narrowed down in both towns; from 9-81 percent in September 211 to percent in September this year (Figure 2). Sugar: The FAO Sugar Price Index averaged 284 points in September, down 13 points (4.2 percent) from August, and 9 points (2 percent) from September last year. The decline in sugar quotations reflects improved sugarcane harvest in Brazil, the world s largest sugar exporter, and improved crop prospects in some key producing regions including India, China, and Thailand.

Compared to the same month last year, these prices have dipped significantly (3-4%) mainly due to higher supply through commercial imports and humanitarian assistance (Figure 3). Cooking Oil: the FAO Oils/Fats Price Index 6 averaged 22 points in September, down 1 point (or.4 percent) from August. While prices for soy, rapeseed and sunflower oil remained firm during most of September, palm oil quotations dropped for the second consecutive month reflecting seasonally high production, which, combined with weak demand, has led to a marked rise in stocks. International price transmission in cooking oil is not explicitly evident in port cities of Somalia. Specifically, vegetable oil prices remained relatively stable over the previous month in Bosasso and Mogadishu but showed a significant annual decline (12-31%) on the backdrop of on-going humanitarian interventions and improved port operations. 1 Weekly Abu Dhabi Murban Spot Price FOB (Dollars per Barrel), US Energy Information Administration, 2 Rising geopolitical tensions over the Iranian nuclear program has seen the revival of the oil price risk premium 3 International Energy Agency (IEA) ly Oil Market Report, September, 212; report.org 4 Main cereal import in Somalia The World Food Situation: The FAO Food Price Index October Ibid 3
