06 Jul 2018 --- Slowing population growth is expected to lead to decelerating demand for food, according to a new Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) report which says that cereal stock levels have climbed to an all-time high. This follows a steady increase across most commodities which also reached record levels last year. At the same time, the FAO Food Price Index declined in June for the first time in 2018, driven by trade tensions.
