Produsele agricole s-au scumpit la cel mai ridicat nivel după invazia din Ucraina. Temeri că inflația sare în aer. Ce rol are El Niño

Global agricultural prices have seen their largest quarterly increase since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, driven by tensions in the Black Sea and extreme weather. The Bloomberg Agriculture Spot Index rose by 13% in the third quarter, with corn and wheat prices increasing by 15%. The ongoing conflict has disrupted agricultural supply from the Black Sea, forcing import-dependent buyers in Asia and Africa to seek alternative sources. Additionally, extreme weather has impacted crop production in key regions. China's consistent soybean purchases from the U.S. and tariff reductions have also supported prices, while the El Nino phenomenon threatens agricultural output globally.
