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 133.3 points in August 2026, up 1.9 percent from its revised July level and 2.5 percent from a year ago.
Checked: the figure 133.3 points is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
