In June, the average purchase price of agricultural products was 20.5 percent higher than a year before, which is an increase of 3.1 percentage points from 17.4 percent a month earlier. The base effect may have played a role in the recovery, as the rate of appreciation slowed by 2.5 percentage points from May to June last year, to 4.5 percent. Potatoes and eggs showed the largest price increases.
