In the past two days, the situation between Russia and Ukraine has deteriorated again, and the tension has reached a short time, and the war has ignited on the Ukrainian plains, and a global potential food crisis has begun.
Ukraine is located in the endless fertile black land of Eastern Europe, is a large agricultural country in Europe, rich in wheat, barley, rye, corn and soybeans, known as the "European granary" reputation, is the world's grain growing power and export power, is an important international grain supply chain.
In the past two days, because Ukraine has said that nato will be added, it has frequently provoked Russia's security bottom line, resulting in Russian troops driving straight into the ukrainian hinterland from the north, east and south of Ukraine, in order to destroy the trend of decay and decay, and to encircle into the hinterland of Ukraine.
In this way, the Russian-Ukrainian war began violently. Although this war is only a devastating blow to the Ukrainian government and army and military facilities, it will not pose a threat to other areas of people's livelihood. After all, this is a war, which will inevitably cause great panic among the Ukrainian people and have an extremely serious impact on people's livelihood and agricultural production.
According to the news of the CONSUMER NEWS and business channel in the United States, on the 23rd, the CEO of Keelvar Company, quoted the procurement technology company Keelvar Company, and CEO Alan Holland said that the situation in Russia and Ukraine has seriously deteriorated again, which will inevitably "hit" the global food supply chain. Because Ukraine is able to produce large quantities of wheat, barley, rye and corn, as well as soybeans and peas, every year, Ukraine is the world's largest food exporter.
Alan Holland also said: "Although the harvest season in Ukraine is in a few months, the ongoing conflict is still likely to trigger a bread shortage this autumn." "Ukraine's food shortage this year is likely to cause catastrophic and serious consequences, not only causing a famine with serious consequences for the Ukrainian people, but also bringing serious food security risks to the world's food importing countries."
In terms of world food security, europe is not only dependent on Ukraine's food, but also on wheat and corn and soybeans in Ukraine in the Middle East and some countries in Africa. In the words of Dawn Chura, President of the Purchasing Industry Group, the obstruction of Ukraine's food supply to these regions is likely to affect food security in those regions, up to regional famines.
In the past period before the Russian-Ukrainian exchange of fire, international wheat and corn prices have risen sharply. According to the Chicago Board of Trade, wheat futures prices have risen by about 12% since the beginning of the year, and corn futures prices have also risen 14.5% in the same period.
Such an increase is very large and is relatively rare. The tension between Russia and Ukraine is tense again, and as the war ignites, it is bound to increase the sharp rise in grain futures even more seriously, making international grain prices rise and make things worse.
According to Perhon, senior partner at Kearney, an international consultancy, "Additional food price shocks will only exacerbate food price increases." From this point of view, after the Russian-Ukrainian war, Ukraine will inevitably have food and food scarcity, and there will be a serious regional famine, which is inevitable a big thing.
