# Agricultural prices moderated their rise in October, but the effect on consumers may not be immediate, according to the Mercantile Exchange

> Colombia’s agricultural producer-price index rose 0.22% in October, slowing from a 1.72% increase in September. Its annual increase eased to 4.79% from 5.86%, while the exchange cautioned that lower upstream price pressure may take time to reach consumers; eggs, chicken and bananas became more expensive.

## Why it matters

The slower index growth suggests easing broad price pressure, but higher poultry and egg prices point to continued tightness in those markets. Delays in passing through changes mean consumer prices may not immediately follow farm-gate movements.
