Monthly report on food price trends
2025Also available in:
No results found.Global maize and wheat prices followed divergent month‑on‑month trends in September 2025, with increases in the United States of America due to strong demand, while larger year-on-year harvests contributed to price declines in the Russian Federation and the European Union. International rice prices declined, amid ample exportable supplies and a slowdown in import demand. In domestic markets monitored by FAO during August and September 2025, cereal prices were at elevated year-on-year levels across the Near East, while in North Africa moderate price increases were registered. In East Africa, prices of coarse grains remained at very high levels in the Sudan and South Sudan, driven by conflict-related disruptions and constrained market access. Wheat prices increased across Far East Asia, most notably in Pakistan, where seasonal upward pressure was compounded by market disruptions due to severe flooding between June and September. Sustained rice price declines in Far East Asia and South America were underpinned by ample seasonal supply. In Southern Africa, favourable production prospects across the subregion eased upward pressure on maize grain prices, while prices of coarse grains declined in West Africa with the arrival on markets of the 2025 main season harvest. -

Monthly report on food price trends
2023Also available in:
No results found.International cereal price trends were mixed in September 2023. Maize prices have increased, reflecting a variety of different factors in the major exporting countries, while wheat prices continued to ease as harvests came to an end in the Northern Hemisphere. Meanwhile, generally subdued import demand slightly lowered international rice prices, amid lingering uncertainties regarding India’s rice export policy and progressively thinning supplies in various exporters. In most countries monitored by FAO, domestic staple food prices in September 2023 remained above their year-earlier levels. Rising energy prices continued to support higher transport and distribution costs, while currency weakness contributed to inflate import costs. Insecurity and conflict have remained important contributory factors to food price increases in Haiti and parts of East and West Africa, while the prevailing El Niño phenomenon is raising concerns over prospects for the 2023/24 crop production in parts of Asia and Southern Africa. -

Monthly report on food price trends
2024Also available in:
No results found.Global wheat and maize prices continued to increase in October 2024, influenced by unfavourable weather concerns in some main producing areas, transport disruptions and strong demand. By contrast, international rice prices declined, amid expectations of increased competition among exporters. FAO’s analysis of the latest available domestic food price data showed prices were below year-earlier levels, in September and October 2024, in parts of Central America and Far East Asia, owing to increased seasonal availability from harvests. Staple food prices remained high year-on-year in parts of East Africa, Southern Africa and South America due to tight domestic supplies, macroeconomic challenges and sustained demand. In West Africa, coarse grain prices hit new record highs in several markets as recent widespread flooding impeded the functioning of markets, further exacerbating existing food access challenges.
