The UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has reported a 2.5% monthly drop in the Food Price Index in June, marking the first decrease since June 2020. This decrease, which was attributed to lower prices in vegetable oils, grains, and dairy products, contrasts with the 33.9% annual increase. The FAO also reported changes in specific price indices, such as a 9.8% decrease in the Vegetable Oil Price Index and a 1% decrease in the Dairy Price Index, but a 0.9% increase in the Sugar Price Index. The Meat Price Index also rose by 2.1%. The FAO's Grain Supply and Demand report has lowered global grain production forecasts due to dry weather, particularly in Brazil, but also anticipates increased global rice production and reduced world grain use, leading to expected increases in world grain stocks. The FAO has emphasized the need for external support to address food insecurity in 45 countries, many of which are struggling with conflicts and climate-related shocks.
