Resumen

FAO organized 14 seminars around the world in 2011 to promote cross-sectoral dialogue on the increase and volatility of food and agricultural commodity prices. Four of these seminars were held in Latin America and the Caribbean: Southern Cone countries met in Santiago, Chile; Central American countries met in San Salvador, El Salvador; Caribbean countries met in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tabago; and countries from both within and outside the region met in Mexico City. These seminars were organized by FAO and supported by ECLAC, IICA (Santiago and San Salvador) and RUTA (San Salvador).  We are pleased to include in this Newsletter the results of these policy discussions, with the aim of contributing information and analysis to the complex decision-making process. The ECLAC/FAO/IICA newsletter complements the document "The Outlook for Agriculture and Rural Development in the Americas: A Perspective on Latin America and the Caribbean," published annually by the three institutions. In the preparation of this issue the following professionals were involved, in alphabetical order: Joaquin Arias (IICA), Hugo Chavarria (IICA), Byron Jara (FAO), Mônica Rodrigues (ECLAC), Adrián Rodríguez (ECLAC), Salomón Salcedo (FAO), Octavio Sotomayor (ECLAC) and Rafael Trejos (IICA).
