Presentation
The study will evaluate the impacts of recent rising international food prices (basically cereals) in the most vulnerable Peruvian households. It will analyze the mechanisms of transmission of these increases in national markets, and also use household surveys (ENAHO) to estimate alternative patterns of food consumption by groups, geographic and rural/urban dimensions. Measures will be done in caloric content in order to relate this to food security issues. Recommendations will be made in order to have policies to avoid adverse effects on vulnerable groups.
