Cereal prices stabilised over a month and slowed down year on year

In October 2022, cereal prices stabilised over one month (0.0% after +2.7% in September). This stabilisation reflected that of soft wheat prices (+0.1% after +3.0%), whose evolution depends on the progress of negotiations aimed at continuing Ukrainian exports, and on concerns about the upcoming harvests, particularly in Russia and Ukraine. Maize prices fell (-1.0% after +2.9%), in a context where demand was sluggish. Year on year, cereal prices slowed down, but continued to rise sharply (+26.2% after +37.3%). They have doubled since October 2019 (+100.9%).

Oilseed prices recovered sharply in October 2022 (+5.7% over one month after -5.4%), driven by sunflower (+10.5% after -8.4%) and rapeseed (+5.5% after -5.1%) prices, while soybean prices dropped (-8.1% after +1.3%). Year on year, oilseed prices went down (-2.9% after +1.8%). Since October 2019, they rose nevertheless by 69.1%.

More about French agricultural price indices

The index of producer prices for agricultural products (IPPAP) measures the change in product prices when the products are put on the market for the first time. It is published in base and reference 100 in 2015. The weight-coefficients of fresh fruit and vegetables change every month so that they reflect their seasonal pattern. Their variations should therefore be interpreted only year on year. If needed, indices are seasonally adjusted.

The index of the purchase prices of inputs for agricultural production (IPPIAP) reflects the price evolution of goods and services used in the agricultural process. It is not seasonally adjusted.

Further informations (including IPPAP and IPPIAP methodologies) are available through the “Documentation" tab on the web page of this publication.
