What the source says
The FAO Cereal Price Index increased by 1.5 percent from the previous month, driven primarily by higher world wheat prices, which rose 4.3 percent due to drought-related deterioration of crop prospects in the United States of America and expectations of reduced plantings in Australia due to higher fertilizer costs.
Checked: the figure 1.5% is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
