In November, overall producer prices of agricultural products increased by 0.9 % compared to October ; year-over-year they rose by 14.0%.

Cereal price rose in november (+3.4 %), reaching a pic over five years. This latest increase resulted from recent forecasts that pointed out a noticeable drop in global crop of maïze and wheat this season.

cereal – Producer price of cereals

Oleaginous price stayed firm this month (–0.3 %), at a high level. The worldwide rape crop, main oleaginous grain grown in France, was also forecast to decrease slightly this season.

Potato price doubled in November compared with the same month last year (+116.3 %), due to a marked shortfall of supply in North-Western Europe. The bad weather in August spoiled practically a fifth of the crop in England and led as well to a substantial deficit of production in the Netherlands and in Belgium. The dry weather in France during September decreased the yields.

Wine price rose in November (+1.8 %), due both to quality wines and other wines.

Price of fresh fruits went up strongly in November year-over-year (+34.9 %). Price of apple and pear were particularly concerned, rising respectively by 47 % and 40 %, due to a strong decrease in production in Europe.

vegetable – Producer price of fresh vegetables

Price of fresh vegetables went up year-over-year (+12.5 %). The production of salad was slowed by chilly weather. The onion crop was less considerable than last year. So, the prices were higher for these two vegetables compared to last year. On the demand side, the domestic consumption was sustained for leek, while cauliflower from Britanny sold easily through exportations. Conversely, chicory price decreased due to a weak consumption.

pig – Producer prices of pigs ans big cattle

On a seasonally adjusted basis, price of animals went down in November. Price of pig decreased noticeably due to North-american competition that drove down european exportations to other countries. Price of eggs rose again (+46.8 % over one year, more than doubling over two years). The European supply was low due to a delay in the implementation of new sanitary standards in some neighbouring countries. The price reflects also the cost of investments agreed and the increase of intermediate consumptions (cereals).
