Global prices for food commodities like grain and vegetable oils were the highest on record last year even after falling for nine months in a row
The FAO Food Price Index, which tracks monthly changes in the international prices of commonly traded food commodities, dipped by 1.9% in December from a month earlier, the Rome-based organization said Friday. For the whole year, it averaged 143.7 points, more than 14% above the 2021 average, which also saw large increases.
The December decline was led by a drop in the price of vegetable oils amid shrinking import demand, expectations of increased soy oil production in South America and lower crude oil prices. Grain and meat were also down, while dairy and sugar rose slightly.,” FAO chief economist Maximo Torero said in a prepared statement.
Last year, the U.N. organization’s Food Price Index hit the highest level since its records began in 1961, according to FAO data.
