Mean of the LiveQuote indexes of 148 materials, as of 4 November 2026.

Ingredients moved little on average and a lot underneath. As of 4 November 2026, the 147 indexed materials in the group, out of 164 listed, rose 0.8% on average over three months and fell 0.5% over one year. On the three-month view, 89 materials were up, 56 down and 2 unchanged.

The ten families split clearly. Cereals lead with an average of +2.3% over three months, ahead of sauces at +2.1% and of flours and baking aids and other ingredients at +1.7%. Sugar and sweeteners average +1.0%, and health ingredients, superfood, tea and coffee +0.9%. Texturizers show +4.7%, a figure that rests on agar-agar texturizer alone.

Three families held the group back. Oils and vinegars are flat at 0.0%, chocolate, cocoa, nuts and honey slipped 0.3%, and flavourings, additives and colorings fell 2.0%. The one-year view is wider: cereals average +3.2%, while sugar and sweeteners are down 3.7% and chocolate, cocoa, nuts and honey 2.8%.

The steepest falls over three months come from potato and olive. Potato flour lost 11.6% and extra virgin olive oil 11.2%, followed by the pectins, pectin included, at -6.8%. The olive oil notes describe harvests reported as good on 25 October and cooperatives asking for part of production to be withdrawn as quotations fell.

At the top, castor oil gained 12.0%, tapioca starch 11.5% and sesame 10.8%, ahead of tapioca flour at +9.0%. Only sesame has a market note: Indian sesame prices were reported to have surged on 20 October amid tighter supply and strong demand. Further down, wheat and barley gained 7.0% each; the barley note reports England's 2026 harvest as the smallest in more than a decade on 14 October.

Over the year, cocoa dominates the declines: cocoa butter is 48.7% lower and cocoa mass 39.8% lower. The strongest annual gains belong to rapeseed meal, +20.5%, millet, +20.3%, and wheat, +19.0%.
