In July 2022, agricultural producer prices went up by 25.3% compared to July 2021 (as in June 2022 compared to June 2021). Excluding fruits and vegetables, agricultural producer prices rose by 29.7% year on year (after +30.0% in June); they fell over one month (–1.0% after –2.7%).

Fall of cereal prices over a month and deceleration year on year

In July 2022, cereal prices went down sharply over one month (–9.0% after –6.1% in June). This drop was due to the fall of soft wheat prices (–10.0% after –5.8%) mainly because of concerns over a possible world economic recession and in the context of the negotiations taking place to unblock Ukrainian exports. Maize prices fell to a lesser extent (–0.8% after –9.2%), as they were pulled upwards by the drought in France and the United States. Year on year, cereal prices slowed down, but continued to rise sharply (+59.7% after +72.6%).

Oilseed prices went down sharply again in July 2022 (–11.5% over one month after –11.0%) due to falls of rapeseed (–12.8% after –10.2%), sunflower (–6.4% after –17.1%) and soybean (–6.3% after –0.2%) prices. Year on year, oilseed prices slowed down significantly, but remained up sharply (+24.3% after +43.3%).

Acceleration of animal prices over one month and year on year

In July 2022, animal prices sped up over a month (+2.6% after +1.5%), in connection with the sharp rebound of pig prices (+8.1% after –1.2%) and despite the deceleration of poultry (+4.4% after +5.5%) and large cattle (+0.1% after +1.0%) prices.

Year on year, animal prices continued to accelerate in July 2022 (+28.7% after +24.1% in June and +22.8% in May). This sharp rise was due in particular to large cattle (+35.8% after +36.6%), pig (+28.3% after +9.8%) and poultry (+24.4% after +20.4%) prices.

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. Their variations should therefore be interpreted only year on year. If needed, indices are seasonally adjusted.

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

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