What the Iran War Means for Global Food Prices
Bloomberg Opinion columnist Javier Blas says the war in Iran, and the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz, has prompted warnings about another bout of global food inflation similar to the one that followed Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Despite those fears, the agricultural market isn't at risk today, at least in the short term. Oil prices may be soaring, but the world's plentiful food stocks are helping to keep commodity prices in check. However, if the US doesn't find an off-ramp from the war, rising energy and fertilizer costs could eventually push the farming industry to a breaking point. Speaking to Stephen Carroll on Bloomberg Radio Javier Blas says we're not there yet though. (Source: Bloomberg)المصدر: Bloomberg | Source: Bloomberg
