> The World Bank projects global food prices to rise 10% in 2026 and a further 7% in 2027, with grain prices forecast to increase another 9% in 2027. Its projections also include increases of 21% for rice, 12% for sugar and 15% for palm oil in 2027; Morocco is exposed as a net importer of wheat, oils and sugar.
