Global food inflation is rapidly rising. The Bloomberg Agriculture Spot Index, which tracks 10 key agricultural commodities, soared over +13.0% in August, its largest monthly gain since July 2012. Meanwhile, the World Food Price Index rose +1.9% in August, to its highest since December 2022. This index tracks internationally traded staples including grains, sugar, dairy, meat, and vegetable oils. Food prices have risen +7.4% since January. Every component tracked in the index rose last month, led by a +11.9% increase in sugar prices and a +2.6% gain in wheat prices. Wheat prices have now increased +15.0% over the last 12 months. Global food inflation is heating up.
