Chinas farm produce prices higher BEIJING - Prices of Chinas farm produce in major cities have all posted rises in the week that ended October 31 from the previous week, government figures showed Wednesday. The rise in food prices, which have a one-third weighting in the calculation of Chinas consumer price index (CPI), has added to inflation concerns as the index rose to a 23-month high of 3.6 percent in September. In the week of October 25 to October 31, prices of 18 types of vegetables rose 1.9 percent, a report released Wednesday by the Ministry of Commerce said. Prices for eggs and meat (pork) rose by 0.2 percent and 0.7 percent, respectively, while the price for edible oil (soybean oil) gained 0.3 percent.

In September, food prices climbed 8 percent year on year, picking up strength after rising 7.5 percent in August, 6.8 percent in July and 5.7 percent in June.
