FAO: World food prices rose to their highest level in two years in July.
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization reported that global food commodity prices reached their highest level in more than two years in July, influenced by the rise in international meat and vegetable oil prices, with the food price index at 130.1 points, a 1.6% increase from June. Although lower than the peak in 2022, the rise in meat and vegetable oil prices offset the decline in prices of other food categories.
