«Breaking Pic News» World food prices stable in August vs July - FAO

ROME, Sept 6 (Reuters) - World food prices were largely stable in August from the month before, with a rise in wheat prices offset by declines in sugar, vegetable oils and dairy indices, the United Nations food agency said on Thursday.

The Food and Agriculture Organization's (FAO) food price index, which measures monthly changes for a basket of cereals, oilseeds, dairy products, meat and sugar, averaged 167.6 points last month, against a downwardly revised 167.2 in July.

The July figure was previously given as 168.8.

FAO said global cereals output in 2018 was seen at 2.587 billion tonnes, down 64.5 million tonnes, or 2.4 percent, from 2017's record production level. FAO's forecast for world wheat production in 2018 was cut by 1.9 percent since July and now stands at almost 722 million tonnes, the smallest since 2013.

The drop in wheat production, blamed largely on a heatwave in Europe, has pushed prices for this crop up some 8 percent month-on-month, the largest rise for any of the FAO indices.

By contrast FAO's sugar price index dropped 5.4 percent from July, the lowest level in a decade. The decline was largely due to the continued depreciation of the currencies of Brazil and India against the U.S. dollar, FAO said. (Reporting by Crispian Balmer; Editing by Philip Pullella)

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
