    The FAO indices of agricultural producer prices measure the average annual change over time in the selling prices received by farmers (prices at the farm-gate or at the first point of sale) for primary crops, live animals’ weight and livestock primary products. In 2019 and 2020, large variations in producer price indices were observed, mainly due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, which disrupted the supply chain and pushed many countries to stockpile food reserves out of food security concerns, unfavourable weather events in key exporting countries and strong demand for biofuels by non-commercial traders. Estimates for 2021 show a sustained increase in producer prices. Country agriculture producer price indices are updated in FAOSTAT on an annual basis. The next release presenting global and regional trends will be in December 2022.

    Estimating the food value chain decomposition by industries and primary factors 2024
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    This statistics working paper presents an estimation methodology for decomposing food expenditure across the industries and the primary factors of the food value chain (FVC). The approach outlined is based on the Global Food Dollar methodology developed by the Economic Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA-ERS) and Cornell University. FAO has enriched the analytical scope of the methodology by adding the industry and primary factors decomposition. Country coverage has also been increased by adapting the methodology to different data types and sources.
