Prețul alimentelor ar putea crește în Europa, după ce căldura extremă a distrus 9 milioane de tone de cereale

A heatwave in June has cost European farmers €2 billion and destroyed 9 million tons of crops, raising concerns about food prices. Coceral estimates this year's grain harvest could be the lowest since 2018. The heat affected crucial growth stages for corn and wheat, leading to significant losses, particularly in France, Hungary, and Spain. Farmers are facing severe drought conditions, impacting yields and food security. The situation may increase Europe's reliance on grain imports, pushing global commodity prices higher.
