FAO’s Food Price Index fell 1.2% month over month in October but remained 5.9% above a year earlier. The cereal index dropped 4.5%, with weaker import demand and improved Argentine production prospects weighing on wheat, while corn also declined amid US harvest pressure and expectations of ample South American supply; vegetable oils edged higher and sugar rose sharply.
Weaker import demand and stronger supply expectations are bearish for grains, while continued Black Sea logistics disruptions limited the downside. The index-level declines suggest easing pressure on feed-grain costs, though impacts differ by commodity.
