5 alimente care se vor scumpi în această iarnă. Unul este nelipsit din bucătăriile românilor

Extreme weather conditions, rising energy costs, and fertilizer prices are expected to increase the prices of chocolate, potatoes, salad, bread, and olive oil this winter. Researchers from City St George’s, University of London, highlight that adverse weather is reducing crop yields while higher production costs are compounding the issue. Chocolate is particularly vulnerable, with cocoa production in Ivory Coast affected by both drought and heavy rainfall. Potato yields in the UK and Europe are projected to drop significantly, leading to higher prices due to constant demand. Leafy greens are also suffering from heat and water shortages, prompting potential imports from Spain. While wheat is a minor cost in bread production, energy expenses are more impactful. Olive oil prices may rise again after a recent decline, influenced by drought and wildfires in key producing regions.
