Meat List is a service of FAO's Trade and Markets Division<http://www.fao.org/economic/est/est-commodities/meat/en/>
The FAO Meat Price Index* averaged 190.5 points in November, up 8.4 points (4.6 percent) from October, representing the largest month-on-month increase since May 2009. At this level, the index is almost 28 points (17.2 percent) above its value a year ago, but still 21.5 points (9.4 percent) below the peak reached in August 2014. Price quotations for all types of meat represented in the Index firmed, with those of bovine and ovine rising the most, reflecting tight export availabilities against persistent strong import demand, especially from China. Demand led by end-of-the-year festivities exacerbated the tightening of global meat markets, lifting pig meat prices further and resulting in some increase in poultry meat prices after three months of declines.

* Unlike for other commodity groups, most prices utilised in the calculation of the FAO Meat Price Index are not available when the FAO Food Price Index is computed and published; therefore, the value of the Meat Price Index for the most recent months is derived from a mixture of projected and observed prices. This can, at times, require significant revisions in the final value of the FAO Meat Price Index.
