The FAO reported that the global food commodity price rose to its highest level since April 2023 in November, increasing 0.5 percent from October. This increase was driven by a rise in international quotations for vegetable oils, with the Food and Agriculture Organization Vegetable Oil Price Index rising 7.5 percent in November from October. The price of global palm oil also rose due to concerns about lower-than-expected production, and global soybean oil prices rose due to global import demand.
