What the source says
Global wheat prices increased by 2.6 percent in August and were 15.0 percent above their year-earlier level, amid persistent disruptions to Black Sea export logistics, lower production prospects in much of Europe following hot and dry weather, and a weaker United States dollar.
Checked: the figure 15% is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
