What the source says
World wheat prices rose 3.4 percent on the month – and 7.8 percent from their year-earlier level - supported by smaller expected harvests in major exporters, including the United States of America, where winter wheat crop conditions are among the least favourable in decades.
Checked: the figure 7.8% is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
