With an increase of 20.7% year-on-year, in February 2022, the global food price index broke a new record. It stood at 140.7 points, according to figures from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO for its acronym in English).
Added to this trend, which began in the second half of 2021, is the pressure from the conflict between Russia and Ukraine due to their high levels of food exports; importing countries would be the most affected.
