Sourse: dairynews.today
A comprehensive review of the FAO Food Price Index for June 2025, highlighting shifts in cereal, dairy, meat, and vegetable oil prices.
In June 2025, the FAO Food Price Index (FFPI) was reported at an average of 128.0 points, reflecting a 0.5% increase from the previous month. Significant fluctuations were observed in the sub-indices: while cereals and sugar noted a decline in prices, dairy products, meat, and vegetable oils exhibited price increases.
The FAO Cereal Price Index dropped by 1.5% from May, driven by falling global prices of maize, barley, and sorghum. However, wheat prices saw a rise due to adverse weather conditions in some major producing regions.
The Vegetable Oil Price Index increased by 2.3%, with upward trends in palm, rapeseed, and soy oil prices. Demand factors and upcoming policy adjustments in the biofuel sector were key contributors.
Meat prices rose across all categories except poultry, with the overall Meat Price Index achieving a record high.
Meanwhile, dairy prices grew 0.5% from the previous month largely due to supply constraints in Oceania and the EU, coupled with high import demand from Asia.
Sugar prices continued their decline, descending to levels not seen since April 2021, influenced by favorable weather and crop forecasts in top producing countries like Brazil, India, and Thailand. These elements may lead to policy and market adjustments as stakeholders respond to supply and demand changes.
