UN FAO Food Price Index 2016 down again

The FAO Food Price Index is a measure of the monthly change in international prices of a basket of food commodities. It consists of the average of five commodity group price indices, weighted with the average export shares of each of the groups for 2002-2004.



Monthly release dates for 2016: 07 January, 04 February, 03 March, 07 April, 05 May, 02 June, 07 July, 04 August, 08 September, 06 October, 10 November, 08 December.

The FAO Food Price Index (FFPI) averaged 150.4 points in January 2016, down almost 3 points (1.9 percent) from December and as much as 29 points (16 percent) below January 2015. The prices of all the commodities tracked by the Index fell, with sugar and dairy products registering the steepest declines.
