What does this price show?

The FAO Meat Price Index follows international export prices of bovine, pig, poultry and ovine (sheep) meat, weighted by each one’s share of world exports in 2014–2016. Many meat prices become known later, so the latest months are partly estimates and are often revised. Base: the 2014–2016 average = 100; a value of 120 means prices are 20% above their average of those three years. FAO publishes it once a month, usually on the first Friday, for the previous month; the latest months may be revised.
