Group 1: Food Price Index Overview - The FAO Food Price Index averaged 130.1 points in July 2025, up 1.6% from June, driven mainly by rising international prices of meat and vegetable oils [1] - The index is 7.6% higher than July 2024 but remains 18.8% lower than the peak in March 2022 [1] Group 2: Grain Prices - The FAO Grain Price Index averaged 106.5 points in July, down 0.8% from June, with wheat and sorghum prices declining more than the increases in corn and barley prices [1] - Seasonal supply from the Northern Hemisphere's latest wheat harvest exerted downward pressure on prices, although poor growing conditions in parts of North America provided some support [1] - The FAO Rice Price Index decreased by 1.8% in July due to ample export supplies and weak import demand [1] Group 3: Vegetable Oil Prices - The FAO Vegetable Oil Price Index averaged 166.8 points in July, rising 7.1% to a three-year high, primarily due to increases in palm oil, soybean oil, and sunflower oil prices [1] - Strong import demand and expanded price advantages drove up international palm oil prices, while robust demand for raw materials in the biofuel sector supported soybean oil prices [1] - Sunflower oil prices increased due to tightening seasonal supplies in the Black Sea region, whereas global rapeseed oil prices fell under pressure from new crop supplies in Europe [1] Group 4: Meat Prices - The FAO Meat Price Index averaged 127.3 points in July, up 1.2% from June, reaching a historical high, mainly driven by rising beef and lamb prices due to strong import demand, particularly from China and the U.S. [2] - Poultry prices saw a slight increase as Brazil regained its status as a high-pathogenic avian influenza-free zone, leading to the resumption of imports by several major trading partners [2] - Conversely, pork prices declined due to weak global demand and ample supply, especially in the EU [2] Group 5: Dairy and Sugar Prices - The FAO Dairy Price Index averaged 155.3 points in July, slightly down 0.1% from June, marking the first month of decline since April 2024, with butter and milk powder prices falling due to ample export supplies and weak import demand, particularly in Asia [2] - International cheese prices continued to rise due to strong demand from Asia and the Near East, while EU export supplies tightened [2] - The FAO Sugar Price Index averaged 103.3 points in July, down 0.2% for the fifth consecutive month, with forecasts of a recovery in global sugar production (mainly from Brazil, India, and Thailand) putting downward pressure on prices, although signs of rebounding global sugar import demand limited the overall decline [2]
