ROME, Oct. 4 (Xinhua) -- Global food prices surged to their largest one-month increase since 2022 in September, driven by extreme weather that put upward pressure on major food commodity categories, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported on Friday.
The FAO said its broad Food Price Index rose by 3 percent compared to August levels, marking the largest month-on-month increase since March 2022, when food prices spiked due to energy and supply disruptions related to the start of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
