Workers select chillies in a stall at the Kramat Jati vegetable distributors centre in Jakarta January 11, 2011. Rising chilli and rice prices helped push up Indonesias annual inflation to a 20-month high near 7 percent in December, and spurred the countrys president and trade minister to urge households to plant food, such as chilli, at home. Global food prices hit a record last month, outstripping levels that prompted riots in 2008, and key grains could climb even further as weather patterns give cause for concern, the United Nations food agency said last Wednesday.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, workers are seen meticulously selecting chillies at a bustling stall in the Kramat Jati vegetable distributors centre in Jakarta. The image was captured on January 11,2011, during a time when Indonesia was grappling with rising chilli and rice prices that led to an annual inflation rate of nearly 7 percent in December. This surge in food costs prompted the country's president and trade minister to encourage households to grow their own produce, particularly chillies. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the global food crisis that plagued nations around the world. It highlights how skyrocketing food prices reached record levels, surpassing even those that sparked riots back in 2008. The United Nations food agency warned about further potential increases in key grains due to concerning weather patterns. Taken by talented photographer Enny Nuraheni from Reuters Images, this snapshot encapsulates both the struggles faced by Indonesian farmers and the larger issue of escalating global food prices. As workers diligently sort through vibrant red chillies against a backdrop of bustling activity, viewers can't help but ponder upon the importance of self-sufficiency and sustainable farming practices amidst such challenging times
