The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization said Friday that its Food Price Index, which tracks monthly changes in international prices for a basket of commodities, averaged 159.3 points last month, up 12.6% from February. As it is, the February index was the highest level since its 1990 inception. FAO says the war in Ukraine was largely responsible for the 17.1% rise in prices for grains, including wheat. Russia and Ukraine together account for around 30% and 20% of global wheat and corn exports, respectively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Food prices soar to record levels on Ukraine war disruptions Apr 8, 2022 7:40 AM ROME (AP) \u2014 The United Nations says prices for world food commodities like grains and vegetable oils have reached their highest levels ever because of Russia&#8217;s war in Ukraine.
