UKRAINENATIONAL CONTEXT (MACRO-)
Inflation at 34% - third highest in the world
Recent and steep increase in food prices from Feb-Mar
2014
Food Price Index shows national level inflation of 36%

change

March 2014 and according to the last official report is
around 765 UAH
UKRAINEFOOD BASKET COST
There are indications that the population still consumes relatively diverse diet.
However, it is likely that they are reducing the amounts of food consumed to adjust
for the ever increasing costs.

UKRAINEPRICES IN DONETSK AND LUHANSK
OBLASTS, GCA
• Fresh produce and fuel have
experienced the greatest continuous
increases in price with oils/fats slightly
lower.
• All have seen a recent and sharper
increase at the beginning of March.
• Increases in other commodities have
experienced a similar sharp increase at
the beginning of March but to a lower
degree
• Sugar almost doubled in price in early
February but continued to see large
increases in prices into March.
• Oils/fats, fresh meat and dairy products
have remained relatively stable.
• Fresh produce has experienced steadY
monthly increases of about 20% since
the end of January.
• Of reasonable concern is the steady
increase in the average prices of staple
foods. UKRAINEPRICES N DONETSK AND LUHANSK
OBLASTS, NGCA
In summary prices in these areas are much higher than in government-
controlled areas and prices are changing frequently:
In Luhansk prices of fresh vegetables are greater than that of NGCA
Donetsk;
The cost of fresh meat is almost double in both oblasts in NGCA
compared to GCAs;
Staple food costs are considerably higher in NGCA compared to GCAs
(around 50% higher);
Indicatively, there is potentially a 50% higher cost in food basket
price between GCA and NGCA.
UKRAINEWAY FORWARD
WFP to establish methodologically sound price monitoring
system to cover both GCA and NGCA:
- Frequency of data collection;
- Access;
- Variability of shops/markets;
- At least monthly reporting.

UKRAINEPartners /members/ observers
In order to increase effective coordination, three categories of
cluster participation exist:
• Partners organizations who are currently implementing FSC
activities, or have completed FSC activities in previous year,
as reflected in the FSC reporting tools - planned activities that
were never completed, will not be sufficient for partnership.
• Members organizations who do not have any FSC activities,
but are interested to share information, or are planning to
implement or start FSC activities
• Observers* are those organizations, who do not want to be
affiliated with the cluster, but want to share information.
Observers can be active in FSC without being partners.
Only FSC partners will be able to vote on operational cluster
issues.
