SEVERE drought and wildfires in Russia, the world’s fourth largest wheat producer, have destroyed a fifth of the country’s crop and sent prices soaring. Since the end of June wheat prices have more than doubled. On Wednesday August 4th, the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization cut its forecast for 2010 global wheat production by 5m tonnes, to 651m tonnes. Kazakhstan and Ukraine, both big wheat producers, have also been hit with dry weather. In Canada the problem is the reverse: unusually wet weather has prevented seeding and destroyed crops. But wheat is not alone. The price of orange juice has also risen recently, probably thanks to bets placed on the likelihood of tropical storms. Coffee prices, which hit a 13-year high, are a result of poor harvests. Taken together, the raw ingredients for breakfast in much of the rich world have increased in price by 25% since the beginning of June.

受严重干旱和林野火灾的影响,世界第四大小麦生产国俄罗1/5的农作物遭到破坏,致使农产品的价格飞速上涨。自七月底起,小麦的价格上涨了两倍多。8月4日即星期三,联合国粮食农业组织将先前2010年全球小麦的预测产量削减了500万吨,即降至65100万吨。两大小麦生产国哈萨克斯坦和乌克兰也在这场干旱中遭到重创。(有意思的是,)加拿大面临的问题则与此相反:通常情况下,多雨的天气会抑制种子发芽和破坏农作物生长。价格上涨的不光是小麦。近来,橘子汁的价格也在上涨,这可能要归功于热带风暴。由于农作物歉收,咖啡的价格也直逼13年新高。总而言之,自七月初,大多数发达国家早餐的原料成分价格上涨了25%之多。 更多信息请访问:http://www.24en.com/
