FAO – Monthly Report on Food Price Trends, Mar 2025
The main theme of the report is the analysis of global and domestic prices for food commodities, especially cereals such as maize, wheat, and rice.
Key findings include: In February 2025, international prices for maize and wheat increased due to seasonal supply reductions and concerns about harvests in key exporting countries. International rice quotations declined due to ample export supplies and weak import demand. In South America, maize and wheat prices rose due to strong export demand. In Southern Africa, high maize prices were supported by limited supplies and inflationary pressures. In Central America, mixed price trends for maize were observed. In Eastern and Western Africa, cereal prices increased due to conflicts and reduced production.
