Cereal prices fell sharply over a month and year on year
In March 2023, cereal prices fell sharply over one month (‑7.6% after ‑1.0% in February). Soft wheat prices (‑8.9% after ‑2.1%) continued to drop, due in particular to Russian and Ukrainian production, more favourable weather conditions and an upwardly revised world harvest forecast. Maize prices fell sharply (‑8.6% after +3.0%), due in particular to an upward revision of world stock estimates. Year on year, cereal prices fell sharply (‑27.9% after +6.9%), due in particular to a base effect (they had risen sharply in March 2022 with the outbreak of war in Ukraine). However, they have risen sharply compared to March 2021 (+21.7%) and March 2019 (+51.4%).
The fall of oil seed prices continued in March 2023, but at a much faster pace than in February (‑12.9% over one month after ‑1.1%). They were driven down by sunflower prices (‑15.0% after ‑0.5%), by rapeseed prices (‑13.0% after ‑1.5%) due in particular to an abundant harvest in Australia and Canada, and by soybean prices (‑4.7% after +1.3%). Year on year, oil seed prices fell by 46.6% (after ‑21.9%). They were 8.8% below their March 2021 level and 37.9% above their March 2019 level.

Year on year, fresh vegetable and fruit prices continued to rise
Fresh vegetable prices rose again very sharply year on year (+34.0% in March after +53.4% in February and +37.0% in January). With the exception of tomato prices (‑10.5% after +13.3%), all prices of the main seasonal products remained on a sharp upward trend. These rises were notably due to a reduction in the production of winter vegetables, as a result of the drought of 2022 on planted areas and the cold of February 2023 on yields. Prices went up very sharply for leeks (+182.0% after +98.6%), cauliflowers (+81.9% after +192.3%), endives (+76.8% after +77.8%) and salads (+35.2% after +42.3%). In March 2023, fresh vegetable prices were 23.5% higher than in March 2021 and 50.1% higher than in March 2019.
Year on year, fresh fruit prices slowed down (+4.4% in March 2023 after +7.4% in February 2023), notably due to the deceleration of apple prices (+10.9% after +12.8%). Kiwi prices fell (‑9.6% after ‑7.9%) as did those of strawberries (‑15.2%). Fresh fruit prices stood 2.6% higher than in March 2021 and 23.5% higher than in March 2019.

Animal prices rose over one month and remained up strongly year on year
In March 2023, animal prices continued to go up over one month (+1.2% after +1.7%). In particular, pig prices rose sharply (+4.3% after +9.1%) owing to a significant drop in supply, while large cattle prices went up more moderately (+0.4% after ‑0.8%). Poultry prices were almost stable (+0.1% after +0.2%).
Year on year, animal prices continued to rise strongly in March 2023 (+22.1% after +25.5% in February), due to the strong rise of pig (+55.6% after +58.7%), poultry (+22.1% after +23.7%) and large cattle (+12.6% after +18.2%) prices. In March 2023, animal prices were 43.6% higher than in March 2021 and 46.8% higher than in March 2019.

Egg and milk prices rose sharply year on year
In March 2023, egg prices fell back over one month (‑2.7% after +5.4%). They remained up very sharply year on year (+53.6% after +77.4% in February), due to persistent high demand and reduced supply, mainly as a result of avian flu. They have more than doubled compared to March 2021 and March 2019 (+145.4% and +137.7% respectively). The price of cow milk was almost stable over one month (‑0.1% after +0.5%). However, it rose very significantly year on year (+16.1% after +21.2%), as well as compared to March 2021 (+37.4%) and March 2019 (+36.9%).

Revisions
The year-on-year percentage change of the index of producer prices for agricultural products in February 2023 has been revised downwards by 0.1 percentage points at +11.3%, compared to the previous release. The year-on-year percentage change of the index of the purchase prices of inputs for agricultural production in February 2023 has been revised upwards by 0.3 percentage points at +11.0%.
For further information
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.
Further informations (including IPPAP and IPPIAP methodologies) are available through the “Documentation" tab on the web page of this publication.
