Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Global food prices fell 0.6% in February, the 11th consecutive monthly decline, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported on Friday.<\/p>\n

The FAO Food Price Index averaged 129.8 points in February, decreasing from 130.6 points in January.<\/p>\n

The fall reflected significant drops in the price indices of vegetable oils and dairy, together with fractionally lower cereals and meat indices, which more than offset a surge in the sugar price index, the FAO reported.<\/p>\n

The FAO food price index is a trade-weighted index that tracks international market prices of five major food commodity groups.<\/p>\n

The vegetable oil price index fell 3.2%, pushed down by lower prices of palm, soy, sunflower seed, and rapeseed oils.<\/p>\n

The FAO dairy price index slipped 2.7%, with butter and skim milk powder international quotations posting the steepest decline.<\/p>\n

The FAO sugar price index, on the other hand, soared 6.9% from January to a six-year high.<\/p>\n

The price indices for cereal and meat remained unchanged.\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n
