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 130.7 points in April, up 1.6 percent from its revised March level and 2.0 percent higher than a year ago.
Checked: the figure 2% is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
