World food prices saw a rebound in February, ending a five-month downward trend. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported that the price index averaged 125.3 points, a slight increase from January's revised 124.2. Despite this monthly uptick, the index remains approximately 1% lower than the same period last year and nearly 22% below the peak recorded in March 2022 following the conflict in Ukraine.
