David Laborde is the Global Director of Agricultural Economics and Policy at the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. He recently visited Guatemala to discuss the global food price trends and their impacts on inflation, particularly how tariff policies between countries could affect consumers. Laborde has emphasized that while food prices are expected to remain high, they are not likely to reach the extreme levels seen in 2022 and 2023, but cautioned that ongoing geopolitical tensions and climate conditions could still lead to increased costs for basic food items, particularly affecting families living in poverty.
