The FAO Meat Price Index experienced a slight increase in September, reaching 119.6 points, a 0.4% rise from August and a 4.8% increase compared to the previous year. This upward trend is largely attributed to a surge in poultry meat prices, largely due to increased demand for Brazilian poultry meat. Despite this, prices for bovine and pig meat remained stable, with supplies sufficiently meeting global demand. However, ovine meat prices saw a slight decline, primarily due to reduced import demand from China.
