最新的谷物价格指数表明谷物价格指数下降了 1.5% 根据上个月的删除 18.7% 根据去年同期. The declining trend of this year was mainly due to the increase of export supply and inventory, especially wheat and corn. Vegetable oil price index dropped by nearly 3.1%, a new low since 2009 September; meat price index dropped by 1%; dairy products price index has been rising continuously for the second month, 一个 1.7% rise than previous month.

FAO says that the estimated 2014 grain output has been heightened to 2.544 billion ton, mainly because EU’s corn harvest was better than estimated; if this estimated figure is confirmed, 2014 global grain output will be 1% higher than the record-breaking level in 2013. Its estimated grain inventory at the end of 2015 is also higher than reported level in previous month; the increase is mainly reflected by the rise of Chinese wheat and corn inventory.
