Războiul şi valurile de căldură ameninţă să scumpească pâinea şi pastele - analiză Oxford Economics - Economica.net

Global food prices are projected to rise by 11.8% this year, with significant increases in cereals, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products due to extreme weather and geopolitical tensions. Analysts from Oxford Economics highlight that the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine are exacerbating supply chain disruptions, leading to higher costs for energy and fertilizers. The European grain harvest has been downgraded due to heatwaves, and the war impacts grain exports from Russia and Ukraine, which together account for a substantial portion of global grain trade. The effects on consumer prices will vary, with fresh produce likely reflecting changes sooner than processed foods.
