How this service works
FAO Food Price Index monthly values (2002-2004 = 100) from the FAO CSV: overall index plus meat, dairy, cereals, oils and sugar sub-indices, latest months first. The published file currently ends in March 2018, so the tool reports that date rather than a newer month.
Output
A JSON object containing an array of monthly records (up to 24), each with the date (YYYY-MM), overall food price index, and five sub-indices (meat, dairy, cereals, oils, sugar) all normalized to 2002–2004=100. Also includes the source CSV URL, the latest available date (currently March 2018), and the timestamp of the last check.
Example use cases
Tracking global food inflation trends
“Show me the FAO Food Price Index for the last 12 months — I want to see the overall index plus all the sub-indices like meat, dairy, cereals, oils, and sugar to understand how food prices have moved.”
Commodity price research for supply chain
“I need the FAO cereal and oils price indices for the most recent 3 months — can you pull those numbers from the FAO data so I can benchmark against our supply costs?”
Food security dashboard update
“Fetch the latest 24 months of FAO food price data including the sugar and dairy sub-indices so I can update our food security monitoring dashboard.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.tradeenergy-api.workers.dev/api/energy/fao-food-price-index?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured, parsed FAO Food Price Index data (overall and five commodity sub-indices) in JSON format without manually downloading or parsing the FAO CSV file. Ideal for agents doing food commodity analysis, inflation tracking, or supply chain benchmarking where the historical series ending in March 2018 is sufficient.
Side effects
- If months parameter is outside 1–24, may default to 3 or return an error
- Data is static at March 2018 — requests expecting more recent data will not find it
- Network timeout or upstream worker unavailability may cause 5xx errors
- Missing or malformed query parameter may result in default behavior rather than explicit error
