The FAO indices of agricultural producer prices measure the average annual change over time in the selling prices received by farmers (prices at the farm-gate or at the first point of sale) for primary crops, live animals’ weight and livestock primary products. The source of official country Agriculture Producer Prices is a questionnaire sent annually to the national statistical offices in all countries in May of the reference year, in addition to two previous years. Country agriculture producer price indices are updated in FAOSTAT on an annual basis.

The latest data are available for the period 2017–2021. In this period, globally producer price indices showed a generalized increasing pattern for cereals, oil crops and meat.
