International markets remained relatively stable, despite strong pressures on production, supply chains and rapid changes in demand. Crops have been above expectations; food stocks are well supplied and international prices seem to be under control. Although a global food crisis due to the pandemic is unlikely, IFPRI warns, in a study cited by the Brazilian delegation, that regional or national crises can be expected, disproportionately affecting the poorest.
