18.1% increase of the plant index in February 2021

In February, the main agricultural and horticultural price indices increased in comparison with the previous month.

The plant index increased by 18.1%. Cereal prices remained at a high level in comparison with the previous years and ware potato prices returned to a level similar to October 2020. The prices of these tubers on the free market remain, however, well below those of the reference year 2015.

The index for animals, which also includes animal products, increases by 4.2%: the increase is observed for all products except for bovine animals.

Finally, there is in February a monthly growth of 9.1% for horticultural products due to the increase of the index for inedible horticultural products (flowers and plants).
