Hi Emanuele,

The FAO meat list provides and interesting perspective of international prices. But domestically it seems to me there can be another picture. I have just taken a brief look at the bovine prices in your index which shows a decrease from 231 in 2014 to 213 in 2015 and 192 in October this year. Over this same period domestic beef and veal prices in Australia have increased almost 10% in every quarter since 2014, as measured by Australian Bureau of Statistics. The FAO Index uses Australian cow export meat prices to the US. I am wondering whether or not domestic prices could be included in the FAO index and how difficult it would be?

Regards
David Michael
