全球3月食品价格指数创30余年新高

World food commodity prices made a significant leap in March to reach their highest levels, as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues to push up energy costs and cause supply chain slowdowns.

由于俄乌冲突持续，推高能源成本并导致供应链放缓，3月份全球食品价格大涨，创30余年新高。

The monthly food price index, released Friday by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), rose 12.6 percent to reach 159.3 points in March, compared to a baseline of 100 points in 2014-2016 (adjusted for inflation.) This is by far the highest total in the history of the index, which was launched in its current form in 1990.

All of the five sub-categories in the index rose, with prices for grains and cereals - the largest component in the index - climbing a stunning 17.1 percent.
