China's farm produce prices rebound

 

　　The wholesale prices of 18 types of vegetables rose 1.4 percent last week from the week before, the first increase after declining for two months in a row, the Ministry of Commerce said in a statement posted on its website.

 

　　The price of pork, a staple meat in China, rose 0.2 percent from the week before but was still down 22.8 percent compared with a year earlier, the ministry said.

 

　　The retail price of eggs decreased for a third week, down 0.6 percent from the previous week.

 

　　The rebound comes amid easing inflationary pressure. The National Bureau of Statistics said Monday that China's consumer price index （CPI）， a main gauge of inflation, eased to 2.2 percent in June, its lowest level since January 2010.
