Japonsko zvyšuje zásoby obilnín
Japonsko zvýši núdzové zásoby obilnín. Je to ďalšie opatrenie pred očakávaným nárastom cien potravinových komodít.
Aký bude nárast cien je ťažko povedať, avšak môžeme očakávať trojcíferný percentuálny nárast v rámci býčieho trhu. Je to v poradí už ďalšia krajina, ktorá kvôli očakávanému nárastu cien zvyšuje svoje zásoby.
Japan, the world’s biggest grain importer, plans to increase emergency stockpiles of corn, wheat and soybeans next year to ensure stable supplies at a time of soaring global prices, the Yomiuri newspaper reported.
The country plans to boost reserves, including privately held inventories, to three months of annual demand in 2009 from one to two months currently.
Wheat and soybeans have been among the best-performing commodities of the past year, with respective gains of 79 percent and 81 percent. Corn, which gained 18 percent in the past year, reached an 11-year high today of $4.62 a bushel.
Wheat inventories were set at 1.8 months’ of demand, or about 900,000 tons, in 2006, the report said, adding that actual stock figures are not disclosed.
