Cereal prices fell very sharply over a month and year on year
In May 2023, cereal prices fell markedly again over one month (‑10.0% after ‑7.0% in April). Soft wheat prices continued to drop (‑9.8% after ‑6.7%), due in particular to favourable growing conditions in Russia and in the European Union and to the extension of the agreement authorising exports from Ukraine and Russia via the Black Sea. Maize prices also fell sharply again (‑12.5% after ‑6.2%), mainly due to good growing conditions in the United States and Brazil. Year on year, cereal prices dropped (‑43.2% in May after ‑34.8%), mainly due to a “base effect” (they had risen sharply throughout 2021 and in the spring of 2022). They even fell back slightly below their level of two years earlier (‑1.1% compared with May 2021).
Oil seed prices also continued to fall in May 2023, but at a slower pace than in April (‑5.1% over one month after ‑7.8%). They were driven down by sunflower prices (‑7.3% after ‑3.8%), by rapeseed prices (‑4.7% after ‑8.4%) due in particular to good production prospects in Europe, and by soybean prices (‑2.2% after ‑11.1%). Year on year, oil seed prices fell by 49.6% in May 2023 (after ‑54.5% in April). They were 20.9% lower than in May 2021.

Year on year, fresh vegetable and fruit prices continued to rise
Fresh vegetable prices continued to rise year on year, but at a slower pace (+6.6% in May after +10.8% in April and +41.3% in March). Among the main seasonal products, prices of cucumbers (‑24.7% after ‑20.4%) and tomatoes (‑15.9% after ‑5.7%) fell substantially. Conversely, prices continued to soar for endives (+72.5% after +42.5%) and they rebounded for asparagus (+35.3% after ‑1.4%) and salads (+4.8% after ‑5.1%). In May 2023, fresh vegetable prices were still up compared to May 2021 (+11.7%).
Year on year, fresh fruit prices accelerated markedly (+19.2% in May 2023 after +5.9% in April 2023), driven in particular by strawberry (+27.7% after +2.9%), apple (+12.4% after +11.0%) and cherry (+10.3%) prices. Fresh fruit prices were nevertheless lower than in May 2021 (‑5.6%).

Animal prices fell over one month but remained up significantly year on year
In May 2023, animal prices fell again over one month (‑2.0% after ‑0.8%). Poultry (‑1.0% after ‑0.1%), large cattle (‑1.7% after ‑0.7%) and pig (‑5.0% after ‑2.3%) prices –which rose significantly in 2022– were down.
Year on year, animal prices slowed down but continued to rise markedly (+9.7% in May 2023 after +15.4% in April) driven by a substantial rise of pig (+26.3% after +35.2%), poultry (+12.4% after +18.7%) and, to a lesser extent, large cattle (+2.7% after +7.8%) prices. In May 2023, animal prices were 33.9% higher than in May 2021.

Egg and milk prices rose year on year
In May 2023, the price of eggs slowed down over one month (+2.2% after +9.2%). It remained up very sharply year on year (+28.0% after +32.0% in April), given the persistent reduced supply, particularly as a result of the consequences of avian flu. Egg prices have more than doubled compared to May 2021 (+145.4%).
The price of cow milk fell again over one month (‑1.8% in May after ‑2.9%) and slowed down year on year (+4.9% after +9.8%). It remained much higher than in May 2021 (+27.9%).

Revisions
The year-on-year percentage change of the index of producer prices for agricultural products in April 2023 has been revised upwards by 0.6 percentage points at ‑6.1%, compared to the previous release, due in particular to the annual inclusion of new campaign prices. The year-on-year percentage change of the index of the purchase prices of inputs for agricultural production in April 2023 has been revised upwards by 0.3 percentage points at +0.7%.
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.
