Notable price events
- 2007-08 global food price crisis — Drought in major exporting countries, combined with several governments restricting exports to protect domestic supply and growing demand for biofuel crops, pushed wheat, rice and corn to what were then record prices within about a year - triggering food riots in over 30 countries.
- 2012 US Midwest drought — The worst US drought in over 50 years cut the corn harvest roughly 13% below the prior year and pushed corn futures to a then-record above $8/bushel - the costliest agricultural disaster in US history at an estimated $30 billion in losses.
- African swine fever in China — African swine fever wiped out an estimated 40-55% of China's pig herd by late 2019 - roughly 250 million animals - tripling Chinese pork prices and collapsing the country's demand for the corn and soybean meal used to feed them, a rare case of a livestock disease moving grain markets more than weather did that year.
- Russia's invasion of Ukraine — Russia's February 2022 invasion cut off two of the world's largest wheat and corn exporters and most of its sunflower oil supply almost overnight, while sanctions and blocked Black Sea shipping routes hit Russian fertilizer exports too - sending prices sharply higher within days across all four commodities at once, a rare case of one event moving so many markets simultaneously.
"World" is the global benchmark price (World Bank Pink Sheet, monthly since 1960, where available). EU country options are Eurostat producer prices (annual); "EU-27 (average)" is a simple, unweighted mean across reporting member states, computed by agri.markets — not a production-weighted figure. Canadian province options are Statistics Canada producer prices (monthly); "Canada (average)" is a simple, unweighted mean across reporting provinces, computed by agri.markets — not a production-weighted figure. EU options are the European Commission's own weekly reference prices. US state options are USDA AMS daily cash grain bids (individual elevators/trade locations averaged per state per day); "US daily average" is a simple, unweighted mean across reporting states, computed by agri.markets. "United States" alone is USDA NASS's monthly national figure. Currency conversion uses monthly ECB reference rates since 1999 (some currencies joined later) — for comparison, not precise historical FX accounting. "Bushel" uses the USDA/CBOT standard test weight for corn (25.40 kg) — bushels are a fixed weight that differs per grain, not a fixed volume. "Inflation-adjusted (real)" rescales each historical price to the purchasing power of the most recent month using the US CPI-U (Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, not seasonally adjusted) — applied the same way regardless of which currency a price is displayed in, since CPI-U measures general US price levels, not an exchange rate. A rough, standard way to compare prices across decades, not a substitute for a commodity-specific or country-specific deflator.
