To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs whether she has any further plans to review the recent evidence on the drivers of food prices after the publication of the report on the 2007/08 Agricultural Price Spikes: Causes and Policy Implications.

The Government continues to look at the potential drivers behind the prices of agricultural commodities and food. During the price spike in 2007-08, the drivers included fundamental changes in supply and demand; the run-down of agricultural stocks; export restrictions imposed by states in response to the shortages; and market uncertainty about the status of supplies. We will continue to research other areas where the results of activity are less certain, such as biofuels policies and market speculation.
The Government also actively monitors food prices and the drivers behind changes in commodity prices. Research into this area has shown that the key drivers behind changes in food prices are global agricultural commodity prices, exchange rates, and fluctuating oil prices.
We are also active on the world stage, working with G20 partners to improve market information through the Agricultural Market Information System and working
to discourage inappropriate reactions to market events, such as the use of export bans, through the Rapid Response Forum.

The Government is clear that it cannot influence dairy prices directly as it must be for the market to drive both production and price levels. The EU Dairy Package sets-out what contracts must cover if they are made compulsory but does not permit us to introduce any additional regulations.
I have, therefore, strongly encouraged the industry to develop a robust voluntary code of contractual good practice that could be in place more quickly and would keep the industry in control of how contracts deal with all the issues which are critical to farmers and processors.
