September’s global meat-price decline was driven by poultry and pork, not every species

The FAO Meat Price Index averaged 127.9 points in September 2026. That was 1.5 points, or 1.1%, below the revised August reading and in line with September 2025. It is not a purchasing quotation for a particular species, cut or country, but a weighted indicator based on international export-price movements across meat groups.
