LONDON, March 3 (Reuters) - The United Nations food
agency's world price index fell in February for a 11th
consecutive month, and is now down 19% from a record high hit
last March following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The Food and Agriculture Organization's (FAO) price index,
which tracks the most globally traded food commodities, averaged
129.8 points last month against 130.6 for January, the agency
said on Friday. It was the lowest reading since September 2021.
