The FAO Cereal Price Index decreased 3.5% to 110.2 points in June 2026, the lowest in four months. World wheat prices declined 4.4%, as rapid harvest progress and strong supply prospects in the Black Sea region outweighed concerns over crop prospects in the US and Australia. While recent rainfall eased risks in parts of Australia, El Niño-related dryness and higher input costs continued to weigh on production prospects. Additional downward pressure stemmed from a stronger US dollar and softer energy markets amid expectations of reduced tensions around the Strait of Hormuz. World maize prices also fell 6.2%, reflecting prospects of ample supplies in exporting countries in South America, alongside declining crude oil prices that weighed on biofuel demand. source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
