The recent surge in world food prices is yet to be fully felt in the Pacific. The lag between\ndevelopments in mainland Asia and the retail outlets in the Pacific developing member\ncountries1 (PDMCs) provide a small window of opportunity to prepare for high food\nprices. High oil prices are already a feature of the region. To date, the regional response\nto the fundamental shift in world oil prices has been muted, and much more could be\ndone to reduce their impact on the region’s growth and development prospects.
