World food commodity prices made a significant leap in March to reach their highest levels, as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues to push up energy costs and cause supply chain slowdowns. The monthly food prices index, released Friday by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), rose 12.6 percent to reach 159.3 points in March, compared to a baseline of 100 points for the average in 2014-2016 (adjusted for inflation.)

The 10.4 percent rise was higher than the 9.9 percent forecast by economists polled by Reuters, dampening expectations for a marked drop in inflation. Inflation had been falling from the 41-year-high of 11.1 percent in October 2022 for three months. Commenting on the CPI figures, ONS chief economist Grant Fitzner said that inflation was mainly driven by "rising alcohol prices in pubs and restaurants following discounting in January." "Food and non-alcoholic drink prices rose to their highest level in over 45 years with particular increases for some salad and vegetable items as high energy costs and
