What the source says
The FAO Food Price Index, which tracks monthly changes in the international prices of a basket of globally-traded food commodities, averaged 125.3 points in February, up 0.9 percent from its revised January level while still 1.0 percent below its level a year earlier.
Checked: the figure 0.9% is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
