Global food prices have experienced the largest increase in nearly a decade, rising for the 12th month in a row as economies attempt to recover from the COVID-19 crisis. The United Nations gauge of food prices reached its highest level since September 2011, with a 4.8% rise in May, leading to concerns about inflation and depleting global grain reserves.
