The FAO Food Price Index for October was 133.9, down 1.2% from September but still 5.9% above its year-earlier level. The grain index fell 4.5% as wheat prices reversed a four-month rise on sluggish demand and improved production prospects, especially in Argentina; corn, barley and sorghum also declined, while rice gained 1.6% amid harvest delays and adverse weather.
