> Global food commodity prices increased modestly in July, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization said in a report released Friday. Higher cereal, sugar and vegetable-oil prices pushed the overall level upward. Declines in meat and dairy prices provided a partial counterweight. The report linked the change to conditions including heat waves and conflicts.
