This trend was disrupted by the agricultural price spikes of 2008, 2010 and, to a lesser extent, 2012 owing to a variety of factors, including major droughts, bioenergy policies and price increases for agricultural inputs. The OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2013 projects that prices for crops and livestock will remain at high levels for the next decade (OECD/FAO, 2013). The prices of grains are expected to remain near their 2013 levels, but the prices of oil seeds may increase towards 2020 owing to increased demand in the food and energy sectors. As a result of increasing demand for meat, the price of livestock will also be pushed upwards.
