What the source says
The FAO Cereal Price Index increased by 2.6 percent from April and was nearly 5.0 percent higher than a year ago, reflecting higher prices across all major cereals amid higher fuel and fertilizer costs globally and weather-related pressures.
Checked: the figure 5% is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
