Food Wars Loom as Nations Hoard Supplies, Warns Agricultural Trader Sunny Verghese, CEO of Olam Agri, warned that the world is on the brink of “food wars” due to geopolitical tensions and climate change, which are straining food supplies. Speaking at a recent conference, Verghese highlighted that government-imposed trade barriers, intended to protect domestic food stocks, have exacerbated food inflation. He noted that the proliferation of non-tariff trade barriers in response to the Ukraine war has created an exaggerated demand-supply imbalance, driving up prices. Wealthier nations stockpiling strategic commodities have further intensified this issue, leading to higher global food prices and deepening food insecurity, especially in poorer countries. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts American Wallets Fight Back: How Consumer Resistance is Curbing Inflation READ MORE ZeroHedge: Speculative Froth Departing Gold as China Tightens Trading Conditions READ MORE Bull Market Gains Momentum as Latest Inflation Data Surprises READ MORE S&P 500 Could Halve as Market Bubble Bursts, Warns Top Strategist READ MORE World Gold Council: Examining the US Election's Effect on Gold READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
