Amman, Sep. 2 (Petra) – The cumulative Agricultural Producer Price Index (APPI) stood at 118.6 points by the end of July 2025, compared to 111.2 points during the same period of 2024, reflecting an increase of 6.6 percent, according to data released Tuesday by the Department of Statistics.
The rise was attributed to higher prices of several crops, particularly hot peppers, green sweet peppers, and bananas, which contributed 35.9 percent to the increase. In contrast, declines were recorded in the prices of other crops, most notably potatoes, eggplants, and colored sweet peppers, with a relative weight of 64.1 percent.
The report detailed that the APPI for July 2025 reached 95.8 points, down from 110.7 points in July 2024, marking a 13.5 percent annual decrease. This decline was mainly driven by lower prices of tomatoes, colored sweet peppers, and cauliflower, which collectively carried a relative importance of 67.8 percent. On the other hand, increases were observed in the prices of white cabbage, strawberries, and guava, with a combined relative weight of 32.2 percent.
On a monthly basis, the APPI for July 2025 dropped by 33.1 percent to 95.8 points, compared to 143.1 points in June 2025. The decline was due to lower prices of dates, aloe vera, and tomatoes, representing 70.1 percent of the overall impact, while increases were noted in white cabbage, green corn, and thyme, accounting for 29.9 percent.
