Global food prices fell in January, led by declines in the costs of sugar, vegetable oils, and cereals, the United Nations food agency said on Thursday, adding that robust inventories should contain prices in coming months. The Food and Agriculture Organization's (FAO) price index, which measures monthly price changes for a basket of cereals, oilseeds, dairy, meat and sugar, averaged 203.4 points in January. "The cereals, oils, and sugar seem to have one thing in common - a much better supply situation than there has been in some years," FAO senior economist Abdolreza Abbassian told Reuters by telephone. Among the categories in the index, only dairy prices rose, FAO said, while meat prices declined marginally.
