The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations reported a 2.4 point increase in its price index to 118.5 points in March, marking the highest level since July 2014. This increase is primarily due to a surge in vegetable oil prices by 8%, the highest in almost ten years. Despite the rise in the general price index, the FAO's grain price index experienced a 1.8% drop in March but remains 26.5% higher than the previous year. The dairy price index also increased by 3.9%, with butter prices rising due to supply constraints in Europe, and milk powder prices increasing due to decreased production in Oceania and the scarcity of sea containers in Europe and North America. The FAO anticipates a record grain harvest, with preliminary data suggesting an increase in production this year, especially in the European Union.
