The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has reported that its global food price index has risen for the ninth consecutive month, reaching 116 points in February, a 2.4% increase from January and the highest since July 2014. This increase was led by higher prices of sugar and vegetable oil. Cereals, dairy products, and meat also saw price increases, although not as significant. The vegetable oil price index rose by 6.2% due to concerns about low stocks in exporting countries, and the sugar price index increased by 6.4% due to restricted supply in India. The cereal price index also increased by 1.2%, with sorghum prices rising the most. Dairy prices increased by 1.7%, and meat prices by 0.6%. However, pork prices fell due to reduced purchases by China and an increase in unsold pigs in Germany.
