The FAO Meat Price Index experienced a slight decrease of 0.8% in October, but rose by 5.9% from the previous year, reaching 118.1 points in November. This decline was primarily due to a drop in international pork prices, which have been decreasing for the fifth month in a row, largely attributed to an oversupply and weak demand. Sheepmeat and poultry meat prices also saw a slight decrease, while beef prices remained relatively stable. The rise in Brazilian beef prices because of high global demand was balanced out by a decrease in Australian beef prices due to reduced demand from the US.
