    International wheat prices fell 7% in June, but were still 45% higher than a year earli.
    The June index was pulled down by a combination of factors, including increased supplies from the new harvest in the northern hemisphere, improved crop conditions in some major producing countries such as Canada, and a better production outlook in Russ.
    International coarse grain prices also fell 1% in June, but were still up 14% year-on-ye.

    "While the FAO Food Price Index fell for the third consecutive month in June, it remains close to the all- timehigh reached in March this year," said Maximo Torrero Cullen, FAO's chief economis.
    The factors of higher prices are still in play, with highlights including strong global demand, unfavorable weather conditions in some key countries, high production and transportation costs, the disruption of supply chains due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and uncertainty arising from the ongoing war in Ukrai.
     
    Meanwhile, the FAO Meat Price Index averaged 127 points in June, up 7% month-on-month, a record high and 17% higher year-on-ye.

    Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations raises forecast for global cereal production
     
    According to the latest issue of Cereal Supply and Demand Briefing, which was also released today, FAO's July 2022 global cereal production forecast has been raised by 7 million tons from the previous month to 792 billion tons, but still down 6% from 2021 world producti.
     
    The month-on-month increase was mainly due to an increase of 4 million tons of coarse grain production forecasts, and world production is expected to reach 501 billion tons in 2022, a decrease of only 5% compared with 2021 producti.
     
    In addition, the forecast for world cereal consumption in 2022/23 has been raised by 2 million tons to 797 billion tons, still 7 million tons (1 percent) lower than in 2021/22, mainly due to expectations of lower feed consumpti.
     
    FAO's forecast for world cereal stocks at the end of the 2023 season is 854 million tons, up 6 million tons from the previous month, but still down 6 percent (0 million tons) year-on-ye.
