The FAO Food Price Index rose 1% in April 2025 from March, led by grains and cereals, dairy and meat, while vegetable oils and sugar fell. The FAO attributed grain price increases partly to new U.S. import tariff policies, including the Mexico exemption and a 90-day suspension of tariffs above 10%.
Tariff adjustments and reduced Russian wheat exports lift global cereal prices, supporting feed grain costs, while lower vegetable oil prices ease pressure on oilseed-based feed ingredients.
