India has the highest food inflation of any major Asian economy, but other emerging markets such as China and Brazil are also battling double-digit food price rises. India's food price index rose 16.91 percent, driven mainly by high vegetable prices, and the fuel price index climbed 11.53 percent in the year to January 1, 2011, government data on Thursday showed.
