World meat prices rose slightly over the month

In March, quotations for beef prices rose under the influence of rising domestic prices in the US , where a reduction in the number of livestock of slaughter conditions is expected in the coming months.

World pork prices rose slightly, mainly due to higher prices in Europe amid limited supplies and increased demand on the eve of Easter.

FAO notes that most of the prices for the FAO MEAT Price Index were not known at the time of calculation and release. Therefore, the value of the FAO Meat Price Index for recent months is based on a combination of forecast and actual prices.
