2015世界粮食价格比2014有所下降
World food prices fell again in December, 2015, dropping 1 percent compared to the previous month, the Rome-based UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported Thursday.
位于罗马的联合国粮食与农业组织周二报道，2015年12月世界粮食价格比11月下降1%。
The main component in the FAO's index, grains and cereals, saw prices fall 1.3 percent driven by competition pushing wheat and corn prices lower. Rice prices were mostly stable compared to November.
Prices for dairy produces fell 1 percent, with meat prices dropping 2.2 percent due to surging pork production in Europe and a drop in demand for imported beef from the United States.
Those drops were partially offset by a 2.1 percent increase in prices for oils and fats, and a 0.6 percent rise for sugar prices.
The index was 19.1 percent lower at the end of 2015 than it was a year earlier, FAO said. Over the course of the year, prices fell in 10 of 12 months.
