You may annotate and include diagrams in your answers. 1.1 Read the extract and graph below and answer the questions that follow: Global food prices surge again, stoking inflation fears Concerns are growing over surging food prices, which climbed for the 12th month straight in May, according to a United Nations gauge. Global food prices extended their rally to the highest in almost a decade, heightening concerns over bulging grocery bills as economies struggle to exit the Covid-19 crisis. A United Nations gauge of world food costs climbed for a 12th straight month in May, its longest stretch in a decade. The continued advance risks accelerating broader inflation, complicating central banks' efforts to provide more stimulus. Drought in key Brazilian growing regions is crippling crops from corn to coffee, and vegetable oil production growth has slowed in Southeast Asia. That’s boosting costs for livestock producers and risks further straining global grain stockpiles that have been depleted by soaring Chinese demand. The surge has stirred memories of 2008 and 2011 when price spikes led to food riots in more than 30 nations. “We have very little room for any production shock. We have very little room for any unexpected surge in demand in any country,” Abdolreza Abbassian, senior economist at the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization, said by phone. “Any of those things could push prices up further than they are now, and then we could start getting worried.” The prolonged gains across the staple commodities are trickling through to store shelves, with countries from Kenya to Mexico reporting higher food costs. The pain could be particularly pronounced in some of the poorest import-dependent nations, which have limited purchasing power and social safety nets as they grapple with the pandemic. The UN’s index is trading at its highest since September 2011, with last month’s gain of 4.8% being the biggest in more than 10 years. All five components of the index rose during the month, with the advance led by pricier vegetable oils, grain, and sugar. The world’s hunger problem has already reached its worst in years as the pandemic exacerbates food inequalities, compounding extreme weather and political conflicts.

The reason provided in the extract draw and labels supply and demand curves to show how a sharp rise in world food prices could have been caused. (3) 1.1.5 “It has been shown that a 1% increase in food prices can reduce household welfare by over 20%” Examine the impact of rising food prices on the social welfare of any economy. (4) “We are staring in the face of a serious food crisis in Europe as food prices rise continuously, and with further draconian COVID measures within the EU, they are bringing the food supply chains to a standstill.” This brings about even greater instability in food prices. The price of food tends to fluctuate more than the price of manufactured goods and services. These fluctuations influence the rate of inflation. 1.1.6 When is a market in equilibrium? (2) 1.1.7 Explain how a rise in the price of food would affect a country’s consumer prices index (CPI) (4) 1.1.8 Analyze, using a demand and supply diagram, how bad weather is likely to affect the market for Corn (6) 1.1.9 Discuss whether a higher inflation rate will benefit producers.
