Oxfam said "millions of the world's poorest will face devastation" from the rising prices. It declared that the days of cheap food are gone. "This is not some gentle monthly wake-up call -- it's the same global alarm that's been screaming at us since 2008," Oxfam spokesman Colin Roche said after latest figures were released. "These new figures prove that the world's food system cannot cope on crumbling foundations. The combination of rising prices and expected low reserves means the world is facing a double danger," Roche said.
