Shafaq News/ The United Nations Food Agency said on Friday that global food prices fell slightly in April after setting a record in March, but global food security remained a concern due to difficult market conditions.
The Food and Agriculture Organization's Food Price Index, which tracks the world's most-traded food commodities, averaged 158.5 points last month versus 159.7 revised upwards in March.
“The small drop in the index is a welcome relief, especially for countries with lower food incomes, but food prices still close to recent highs, reflecting ongoing market tightness and challenging global food security for the most vulnerable,” said Chief. FAO Economists Maximo Torero Cullen.
Although down in one month, the April index was 29.8% higher than a year earlier, lifted in part due to concerns about the impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The proxy grain price index fell 0.7% in April after a 17% jump in March. While corn prices declined 3.0%, wheat prices rose 0.2%.
Wheat has been hit by port areas in Ukraine and concern about crop conditions in the United States, the Food and Agriculture Organization said, but those concerns were partly offset by larger shipments from India and top exports from Russia.
The organization's vegetable oil price index fell 5.7% in April, as demand for palm, sunflower and soybean oils fell.
Sugar prices rose 3.3%, the meat price index rose 2.2%, and the dairy index added 0.9%.
In separate grain supply and demand estimates on Friday, the organization slightly lowered its projection for world wheat production in 2022 to 782 million tons, from 784 million last month.
And the projections taken into account are an expected decrease of 20% in the harvested area in Ukraine and an expected decline in production in Morocco due to drought in the North African state.
With nearly all crops harvested, the World Grain Organization's 2021 forecast is unchanged at 2.799 billion tons, up 0.8% over 2020 levels.
The agency slightly increased its projection of global grain trade in 2021/22 to 473 million tons, 3.7 million tons more than last month's forecast but 1.2% below the 2020/21 record level.
The organization said the upward revision reflected stronger exports from Russia based on continued shipments in April, mostly to Egypt, Iran and Turkey.
The organization warned in March that food and feed prices could rise by up to 20% as a result of the conflict in Ukraine, raising the risk of further malnutrition.
