What the source says
World wheat prices rose by 2.6 percent month-on-month, standing 15.0 percent above their year-earlier level, amid persistent disruptions to Black Sea export logistics, lower production prospects in parts of Europe following hot and dry weather, and a weaker United States dollar, which enhanced the competitiveness of dollar-denominated export supplies.
Checked: the figure 15% is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
