‌Key messages

• Following several years of relatively calm market conditions, world agricultural markets today face mounting risks, including policy uncertainty from trade tensions
• Productivity is projected to outpace demand growth, which implies declining real food prices. This is good news for poor consumers, but will put pressure on farm incomes
• Global food demand follows population growth as per-capita consumption of many food items levels off
• Open, transparent and predictable trade is important for global food security – regions experiencing rapid population growth are not those where food production can be increased sustainably
• This year's edition focuses on the prospects and challenges in Latin America and the Caribbean
