Avertisment global: Prețurile la alimente vor exploda, din cauza secetei și a războaielor • Newsweek România

A global food crisis is looming due to severe droughts, wars, and supply chain disruptions, leading to significant price increases for basic food items. Experts predict that food inflation will rise and persist until 2027, driven by maritime transport issues and higher fertilizer costs. The FAO warns that the impact will intensify by the end of this year and throughout next year, particularly affecting low-income households. The food price index reached its highest level since November 2022, with transportation disruptions in the Black Sea and Red Sea contributing to rising costs. Wheat prices have surged over 30% this year, while rice prices in major Asian exporting countries have increased by 10% to 13%.
