Farm Product Price Index Drops by 1.2% in December 2024

According to Statistics Canada, the Farm Product Price Index (FPPI) declined by 1.2% in December 2024 compared to December 2023. This decrease was primarily due to reductions in the grains and oilseeds indexes. Gains in the livestock and animal products index partially offset these declines.

The FPPI serves as a measure of price changes for agricultural products in Canada. December's report indicated considerable variability in these indexes, which reflects broader trends in agricultural pricing. The livestock and animal products showed resilience, but this was not enough to counterbalance overall negative trends in grains and oilseeds.

This information provides valuable insights for stakeholders in Northeast Ontario, a region significantly engaged in agriculture, as they navigate these pricing shifts.
