In July 2013, overall producer prices of agricultural products decreased by 1.0 % ; over one year they rose by 2.9 %.

Cereal prices kept on decreasing in July (–3.3 %) as a result of record harvests in the Northern hemisphere.

Oleaginous prices tumbled in July (–11.8 %), particularly that of rape (-13.9 %), the main oleaginous good growed in France. In fact, the Ukrainian harvests of rape turned out to be very significant, and soy prices, a seed which is partially substituable, suffered from the announcement of a surge of sowed areas in the United States

In July, potato prices more than doubled compared to the same month last year (+138.1 %), due to a marked shortfall of supply in North-Western Europe.

Wine prices increased in July (+0.9 %), and in a remarkable way over one year (13.9 %). The prices for some PDO wines were sustained by the export demand. The less significant crop last autumn led to a rise in prices for other wines.

Fresh fruits prices increased year-over-year (+19.1 %). Apricots and peaches prices rose due to bad weather conditions and a diminishing planted area. On the other hand, cherries decreased as a result of a bigger production than last year.

vegetable – Production prices of fresh vegetables

Fresh vegetables prices rose year-over-year (+12.3 %). The coming of the summer heat increased the demand for seasonal vegetables that were hardly filled by the supply for some of them (cucumber, melon), as their growings were delayed by the dull spring . On the other hand, the bright sun in July accelerated well the maturity of tomatoes, allowing to satisfy the rising demand for this vegetable as well, which is very consumed during summer time.

pig – Production prices of pigs ans big cattle

On a seasonally adjusted basis, animals prices increased a little in July (+0.8 %). Pigs ans sheep became more expensive : the coming of summer-like temperatures made the consumption of grilled meat pick up. Egg prices plumeted over one year : the strong recovery of production came after the implementation of new sanitary standards in 2012 which had led to a significant drop in the output.
