# FAO Food Price Index up slightly in June due to higher meat, dairy and vegetable oil prices

> The FAO Food Price Index averaged 128.0 points in June 2025, up 0.5% from May. Higher dairy, meat and vegetable oil prices outweighed lower cereal and sugar prices. Maize fell for a second month on ample Argentine and Brazilian supply, while wheat rose on weather concerns in the EU, Russia and the US.

## Why it matters

Vegetable oil and wheat strength points to firmer feed-adjacent prices, while ample maize supply keeps corn pressured. Global cereal output is forecast at a record, which limits the upside.
