What does this price show?

The FAO Vegetable Oil Price Index follows international prices of ten oils (palm, soybean, sunflower, rapeseed, groundnut, cottonseed, coconut, palm kernel, linseed and castor oil), weighted by each one’s share of world exports in 2014–2016. Olive oil is not included. 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.
