FAO Vegetable Oil Price Index down 19.5 pct

The FAO Vegetable Oil Price Index averaged 131.2 points in January, rising 5.4 points (or 4.3 pct) from the previous month and marking the second consecutive increase after a protracted fall.

The upward trend in the world vegetable oil prices last week preserved.
