Agricultural producer price index rises in H1 of 2025
The increase was mainly driven by higher prices for crops such as hot peppers, green bell peppers, and cauliflower, which together accounted for 65.5 percent of the weighted average. Meanwhile, prices declined for other crops including potatoes and eggplants, with a relative importance of 34.5 percent.
In June 2025, the index reached 143.1 points, up 4.1 percent from 137.5 in June 2024. The rise was primarily due to higher prices for strawberries, okra, and mulberries, which made up 52.3 percent of the basket, while prices dropped for cherries, mushrooms, and colored bell peppers (47.7 percent).
However, when compared to May 2025, the June index declined by 1.4 percent, down from 145.1 points. This monthly drop was attributed to falling prices for crops like loose-leaf molokhia, grapes, and figs, which accounted for 85.5 percent of the index. In contrast, prices rose for cauliflower, loquat, and green onions, representing 14.5 percent of the crop mix. Petra

Vinicius Junior warned Real Madrid contract stand off could ‘backfire'
Ammon News - Real Madrid and Vinicius Junior remain blocked over talks for a new deal that could keep the Brazil international at the club long-term. The main issue focuses on the demands reportedly changing on the player's end with the two parties now no longer in conversations over a possible renewal. With two years remaining on his deal, speculation has ramped up over his future, with the Los Blancos No.7 the subject of constant interest from the Saudi Pro League, with figures of a €300m transfer fee and a €1bn contract being thrown around. In February, Vinicius reportedly met with Saudi officials to hear their offer. Yet it all seemed to have settled down in March as reports emerged of he and Real Madrid agreeing terms on a new contract. Vinicius is keen to stay at Real Madrid, as per Diario AS, with the latest indicating he is not contemplating leaving the Spanish capital and his intention is to sign a new contract. Real Madrid are keen to resolve the issue, as they believe there is no player on the market like him, despite rumours of president Florentino Perez being open to an exit if he can bring in Erling Haaland. Perez will be central to what comes next and former Real Madrid defender Rafa Aklkorta warned Vinicius not to take him on. 'Trying to pressure on Florentino Perez can backfire, as it did with Sergio Ramos,' as per Diario Sport.
