Price Chart
How this year compares, month by month, to the typical pattern of recent years for the selected region.
This commodity has no official global benchmark price, so "World (average)" is a simple, unweighted mean across whichever FAOSTAT-reporting countries had a producer price that year, computed by agri.markets — not a production-weighted figure, and not an official FAO statistic. Currency, unit and inflation conversions are explained in how agri.markets sources and calculates prices.

About Rye
A cold-hardy cereal grown on land too poor or cold for wheat, used mainly for dark bread and animal feed, and distilled into rye whiskey and vodka. Germany, Poland and Russia are the largest producers, mostly grown and consumed within Europe. It's also increasingly planted as a winter cover crop purely for soil health - to hold nutrients and prevent erosion between cash-crop seasons - rather than to be harvested at all, a use this site's price data doesn't capture. Unlike wheat and corn, there is no single global benchmark price — only national producer prices (this page uses FAOSTAT data).
