The June figure was previously put at 154.2.<\/p>\n<p>The July index was still 13.1% higher than a year earlier, pushed up by the impact of the invasion of Ukraine, adverse weather and high production and transport costs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe decline in food commodity prices from very high levels is welcome, however, many uncertainties remain,\u201d said FAO Chief Economist Maximo Torero. <\/p>\n<p>A bleak global economic outlook, currency volatility and high fertilizer prices \u2013 which can impact future production and farmers\u2019 livelihoods \u2013 all pose serious strains for global food security, he said.<\/p>\n<p>The vegetable oil, sugar, dairy, meat and cereal price indices all fell month-on-month in July, with wheat slumping 14.5%, partly due to a deal reached between Ukraine, Russia,  Turkey and the United Nations to unblock grains exports from Black Sea ports.<\/p>\n<p>The maize price index fell 10.7% in July, also due in part to the Russia-Ukraine deal as well as increased seasonal availability from key producers Argentina and Brazil, the FAO said.<\/p>\n<p>Three ships carrying a combined 58,041 tonnes of corn were authorised to leave Ukrainian ports on Friday, the organisation arranging the operation said. A first vessel carrying Ukrainian grain set sail from Odesa on Monday. <\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Maytaal Angel; Editing by Andrew Cawthorne)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/?attachment_id=2734439\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI740DB-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI740DB-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Maytaal Angel LONDON (Reuters) \u2013 The United Nations food agency\u2019s world price index declined again in July, edging further away from record highs hit in March.
