> Authorities in Rummamer County, South Sudan's Abyei area, ordered sorghum sold by farmers at 40 SSP per gallon and by traders at 45 SSP, down from 90-120 SSP before the decision. The order does not cover Abyei town but local traders expect it to influence prices there.

## Why it matters

This is a local administrative price cap in a small area and has negligible effect on global sorghum or grain prices. It only indicates regional food price stress.
