Other Agricultural Chemicals Prices Rise a Sixth Month to 208.5

Other Agricultural Chemicals Prices rose for a sixth straight month in August 2026, reaching 208.5, down 5.1% on the year. Illustrative only: if an unchanged other agricultural chemicals basket costs $250,000 now and tracks this index exactly, a 5.1% year-over-year move implies $13,435 less than a year ago. This is not a measured purchasing bill.

consecutive increases: 6 months. from 206.5 after February 2026 to 208.5

The run began after February 2026, when the series stood at 206.5 — a climb of 1.0% over the streak.

A run this long changes how the next print reads: a decline would end a 6-month pattern and would be news in its own right, while a seventh consecutive increase would extend one of the longer streaks in this archive. Source: BLS Producer Price Index.
