The FAO Food Price Index* (FFPI) averaged 121.5 points in September 2023, 14.6 points (10.7 percent) below its corresponding level a year ago and 38.3 points (24.0 percent) from the all-time high reached in March 2022.
Someone send this to the Parliament, and the Westons. World food prices have declined by 24% from a year ago. We should see grocery bills decline too right? Right?

Straight-up bribery like that is pretty rare in the West. That the whole government would be complicit is conspiracy theory territory.
