In January, world corn prices increased by 3.8% due to concerns about potential drought in the Southern Hemisphere, particularly in Argentina and Brazil. This rise was also influenced by the situation in the wheat market. Wheat export prices, on the other hand, decreased by 3.1% due to a surge in supply caused by high yields in Australia and Argentina. However, this decrease was limited by consistent high demand and uncertainty about export supplies. Sorghum prices also rose, while barley prices fell slightly. Overall, fig prices increased by 3.1% due to low yields and stable purchases from Asian countries.
