Global food prices reach 2023 highs
Global agricultural commodity prices have risen to their highest levels in three years, driven by increasing fears of disrupted grain supplies due to attacks between Russia and Ukraine, heatwaves across Europe, and the ongoing war between the United States and Iran.
