Blocajele din Marea Neagră și Strâmtoarea Ormuz, în spatele exploziei prețurilor la cereale

In September 2026, cereal prices surged significantly due to disruptions in the Black Sea and Strait of Hormuz. The FAO reported that food price indices reached their highest levels in four years, driven by logistical issues and climate concerns. Wheat prices rose by 6.3%, while corn increased by 5.6%. Vegetable oil prices also saw a slight increase, influenced by high demand and production fears in Southeast Asia. Sugar prices climbed by 6.1% amid expectations of a reduced global supply. Conversely, meat and dairy prices experienced slight declines, attributed to increased supply and lower demand in certain regions. Overall, global food prices are under persistent pressure, particularly affecting food-importing countries.
