In June 2013, overall producer prices of agricultural products decreased by 1.5 % ; over one year they rose by 6.2 %.

Cereal prices noticeably decreased in June (–7.5%). Abundant crops of wheat were forecast in the Northern hemisphere and its prices tumbled. Maïze prices slightly recovered despite upward prediction of global production ; french maïze sold well, as a result of the demand coming both from french manufacturers of animal feed and these from North-Europe.

cereal – Production prices of cereals

Oleaginous prices decreased in June (-1.7 %). The good conditions of growing allowed to foresee an abundant crop.

Potatoes prices more than doubled in June compared to the same month last year (+139.9 %), due to a marked shortfall of supply in North-Western Europe.

Wine prices dropped in June (-0.6 %) but jumped over one year (10.7 %). 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 (+14.8 %). Apricots and peaches prices rose : bad weather conditions and a diminishing planted area (mainly for peaches) led to decreasing supplies. On the other hand, cherries decreased : consumers little consumed this fruit with regard to the dull weather in June.

vegetable – Production prices of fresh vegetables

Fresh vegetables prices rose year-over-year (+10.6 %). On the supply side, the lack of sun and cool temperatures during June led to a deficit of production for most seasonal vegetables, and their prices increased. On the demand side, the dull weather affected tomatoes consumption whose price slumped despite a decreasing production as well. Conversely, the consumers fell back on leeks, a vegetable which is rather consumed during the cold season.

pig – Production prices of pigs and big cattle

On a seasonally adjusted basis, animals prices increased in June (+1.6 %). Pigs were more expensive due to a reduced European supply this month. Big cattle prices remainded stable further to a lower availability of these beasts. Eggs prices plummeted over one year (-34.7 %) as a consequence of the recovery of the production capacities
