FAO’s Post

The benchmark for world food commodity prices was unchanged in June, as increases in international quotations for vegetable oils, sugar and dairy products offset a decrease in those for cereals. The FAO Food Price Index, which tracks monthly changes in the international prices of a set of globally-traded food commodities, averaged 120.6 points in June, the same as its revised figure for May.   The index is now 2.1 percent lower than its year-earlier value and 24.8 percent below its March 2022 peak.   https://lnkd.in/drnjWkp3   #FAOFoodPriceIndex
