FAO Food Price Index
The FAO Food Price Index is a crucial indicator of global food market trends, offering insights into the price movements of various food commodities. As of July 2025, the index rose by 1.6% compared to June, reaching 130.1 points.
Location and Operations
The FAO Food Price Index is not tied to a specific company or physical location. It is a global indicator produced by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, which is headquartered in Rome, Italy.
Financial Indicators
While the overall index saw an increase, specific sub-indexes such as dairy and cereals experienced a decline. This indicates a divergence in pricing trends across different food commodities. The dairy sub-index's decline suggests a decrease in global dairy prices, impacting producers and markets worldwide.
Important Events
The significant rise in the index was primarily driven by sharp increases in vegetable oil and meat prices, which were substantial enough to counterbalance the declines in dairy, cereals, and sugar. These shifts reflect complex dynamics in supply and demand across global markets.
Company Plans
As the FAO Food Price Index is an analytical tool rather than a company with strategic plans, its role is to continue providing accurate and timely data to inform policymakers, businesses, and stakeholders in the global food industry. The index will keep monitoring market trends to offer insights into future developments.
