Cereal prices fell over a month and decelerated year on year

In December 2022, cereal prices continued to fall sharply over one month (‑5.9% after ‑5.4% in November). This drop reflected that of soft wheat prices (‑5.4% after ‑5.2%), due in particular to concerns about the world economic outlook and strong competition due to resumed exports from Ukraine and Russia, despite the ongoing conflict. Maize prices also fell (‑7.9% after ‑7.5%) in a context where demand remained sluggish due in particular to avian flu. Year on year, cereal prices decelerated, but continued to rise very sharply (+9.0% after +12.4%). Compared to December 2019, they have risen sharply (+74.4%).

The fall of oil seed prices intensified in December 2022 (‑7.7% over one month after ‑2.2%). They were driven down by rapeseed prices (‑7.9% after ‑2.3%), due to the appreciation of the euro against the dollar and limited demand, sunflower prices (‑7.5% after ‑2.4%) and soybean prices (‑4.6% after +0.7%). Year on year, oil seed prices fell by 14.9% (after ‑8.1%). Since December 2019, they have risen nevertheless by 46.2%.

Producer prices of pigs and large cattle

  • Source: INSEE

Egg prices slowed down and milk prices rose sharply year on year

In December 2022, egg prices fell over one month, albeit at a less pronounced rate than in November (‑2.7% after ‑6.5%). They remained up sharply year on year (+71.3%) in a context of sharp demand and reduced supply, notably because of avian flu, but slowed down (+87.5% in November). They have risen by 91.2% since December 2019. The price of cow milk continued to rise over one month (+0.2% after +2.3%). It went up sharply year on year (+24.8% after +25.8%) and over three years (+32.2%).

Input purchase prices fell over one month and remained up strongly year on year

Over one month, the purchase prices of intermediate consumption continued to go down (‑1.5% in December 2022 after ‑0.8% in November), under the effect of sharp drops of energy (‑6.6% after ‑5.2%) and fertilizer and soil improver (‑3.4% after ‑2.6%) prices. Prices of animal food (+0.1% after +0.5%) and other goods and services (+0.1% after 0.0%) were almost stable. Maintenance of materials (+0.4% after +0.3%), seed (+0.4% after +2.4%) and plant protection product (+0.7% after +2.3%) prices rose. Year on year, the purchase prices of intermediate consumption continued to decelerate in December 2022, but remained nevertheless on a sharp upward trend (+18.1% after +21.3% in November and +24.5% in October in annual terms). They were 39.7% higher than in December 2019.

In December 2022, prices of investment goods and services rose by 0.2% over one month (after +0.5%), by 8.9% year on year (after +8.6%) and by 20.4% over three years.

Revisions

The year-on-year percentage change of the index of producer prices for agricultural products in November 2022 has been revised upwards by 0.4 percentage points at +13.4%, compared to the previous release, in particular due to a sharp revision of cow milk prices. The year-on-year percentage change of the index of the purchase prices of inputs for agricultural production in November 2022 is left unchanged at +18.2% (after rounding).

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.
