The FAO Cereal Price Index averaged 105.0 points in September, down 0.6 points (0.6%) from August and 8.5 points (7.5%) below its September 2024 level.
World wheat prices declined for the third consecutive month in September, largely due to subdued international demand and confirmation of large harvests in the Russian Federation and other key producing countries in Europe and Northern America.
Maize prices also dropped, on forecasts of abundant supplies in exporting countries Brazil and the United States of America, while the temporary suspension of grain export taxes in Argentina also weighed on maize quotations.
Among other coarse grains, world prices of both barley and sorghum rose, with barley prices recording a third consecutive monthly increase.
Meanwhile, the FAO All Rice Price Index fell by 0.5 percent in September 2025 led by declines in Indica quotations, as ample exportable supplies and reduced purchase orders by buyers in the Philippines and Africa weighed on the market.
