Nedostatok potravinových komodít v 2009
Nedostatok potravinových komodít sa už prejavuje aj teraz a ešte viac bude citeľný nie len v/ale aj po roku 2009. Tomuto budú potom odpovedať aj ich ceny.
Despite stronger production and falling prices for many food staples in the second half of 2008, the risk of food supply shortages remains acute in world markets. These supply shortage risks stem from reduced producer incentives – and ability - to boost food production.
Reduced access to trade credit, rising costs, bio-fuel competition, and infrastructure shortages are among key factors that continue to weigh on trend growth in world agriculture supply. Inventory levels are also low relative to their long run averages, highlighting the underlying tightness in food markets at present.
Given the fact that global food demand growth will be driven by population and income growth in emerging market countries, and that over half of the world’s cereal production is sourced from these countries, increasing this emerging market supply response in the future will be critical to avoiding global food shortages in the medium term.
