全球粮食价格突破2022水平
Global food prices in August rose to their highest levels since November 2022, driven by adverse weather conditions, supply disruptions related to the war in the Gulf, and the risks facing grain exports across the Black Sea. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) index showed prices increased by 1.9% compared to July, and by 2.5% compared to the same month last year, amid a continued decline in global grain stocks, which are 2% lower than last year. The largest increase was in sugar prices, which soared by 11.9%, due to hot and dry weather, reduced beet production in Europe, the influence of the El Niño phenomenon, and increased global demand. Wheat prices also rose by 2.6%, amid maritime disruptions and deteriorating European crops; corn prices increased by 2.5% due to fears of reduced yields in the US and Europe. Meanwhile, prices of palm oil and soybean oil also rose. Dairy products experienced their first increase in four months, up by 2.3%, and meat prices increased by 1%, despite a decline in beef prices. Although the organization lowered its forecast for global grain production in 2026 to 2.98 billion tons, global stocks remain relatively comfortable, though climate threats, wars, and the impacts of global trade routes continue to pose risks.
