Criză a grâului pe piețele mondiale: s-a scumpit cu 40 la sută în doar câteva luni

Wheat prices have surged by 40% on international markets, prompting countries like Indonesia and Egypt to seek alternative suppliers at higher costs. Importers from Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, reliant on the Black Sea region, face significant challenges in securing supplies due to attacks disrupting transport since July. Exports from Russia and Ukraine are drastically declining, with estimates showing a drop to one million tons in September. Indonesia has turned to suppliers in Argentina and Australia, paying 20-25% more for wheat. Egypt is diversifying its sources, reducing reliance on Russia and Ukraine, but some buyers hesitate to switch due to preferences for familiar wheat varieties. This price increase follows a period of market volatility similar to that seen in 2022 after the Ukraine war began.
