Sharp fall in cereal prices over one month

In June 2021, cereal prices fell (–5.2% after +4.0%), due in particular to the generally favourable weather conditions for crops and an upward revision of the world harvest forecast.

Year on year, cereal prices slowed down but remained very dynamic (+22.8% after +25.6%).

Oilseed prices went down in June 2021 (–2.5% after +7.1% in May), due in particular to the favourable rainfall for the North American harvest. The fall was slightly more pronounced for rapeseed prices (–2.8% after +6.8%) than for sunflower prices (–2.1% after +10.7%). Soybean prices rose (+0.5% after +0.4%). Year on year, oilseed prices soared (+44.8% after +46.7%).

Acceleration in fresh fruit prices and decrease in fresh vegetable prices year on year

Year on year, fresh fruit prices accelerated again in June 2021 (+15.0% after +14.5% and +12.7%). Cherry prices remained particularly dynamic (+48.4% after +34.2% year on year).

Fresh vegetable prices fell again year on year, but more moderately than in May and especially April (–2.5% after –3.3% and –18.8%), due to the combined effect of falls in courgette prices (–26.8% in June) and carrot prices (–10.6%), and, in the opposite direction, the rebound in tomato prices (+8.1% after –10.6%), salad prices (+2.3% after –2.0%) and cucumber prices (+1.6% after –15.3%).

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. As a result their variations can be interpreted only year on year. If needed, indices are seasonally adjusted.

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

The methodology of IPPAP is available on the Insee web site: https://www.insee.fr/en/metadonnees/source/indicateur/p1657/description

and IPAMPA: https://www.insee.fr/en/metadonnees/source/indicateur/p1652/description
