World food prices rose by 1.4 percent in June this year, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

In its monthly report World Food Outlook, the FAO said that the increases were mainly due to a relatively large increase in the values of dairy products and cereals. Prices of vegetable oils and sugar fell.
