opinion polls show that over 70 percent of italians are against military support for ukraine. landed in confront with the date. for now, don't you thought don't it will renew inevitably. got it more on a skid out and blissful mental today about the daily dazzling to plug was just the mileage. so we'll do a lot. you think this has been absolutely been even fun theater. the lineup ah, it is the literal life blood of people and civilization. but what happens when the cost of food begins to rise too quickly? the poor middle class suffer the most. so what's driving the rising cost? well, in order to understand that you have to understand the supply chain. i'm christy i

. and today on the cost of everything, we're going to be taking a close look at the state of the food supply chain. and what happens when the cost of food becomes simply too much, ah, good prices around the world has thor to record highs, and it doesn't matter where you live. we prices hit a 14 year peak and march of this year. and mays price is the highest ever recorded . while the current conflict between russia and ukraine have brought this issue into the spotlight now, this has been at least 2 years in the making. local food prices has 3rd since 2020 in response to increasing energy and fertilizer prices pandemic, and do supply chain constraints and drops depreciation of some currencies along with the increasing production costs, have also played a role as well. so what does all of this mean?

only one thing the price of food has skyrocketed. so how is this increase impacting people around the world? let's go a little bit deeper on this and bring in daniel lazar. so as of august rain started to move through ukraine again, but 4 months, millions of tons of brain were stuck in ukraine with a risk of rot and waste. as a result, this has had a huge impact on food prices, correct? oh yeah, i mean if there's the grain stays, there is a great danger that it will end up riding if it's stuck in the ukraine. and by the way, it's not russia, which is not the ukraine which is being blockaded. it's the ukraine has really as mind, its own ports as a precaution against a russian, you know, incursion, so, so the, the blame is on both sides. the mines are put there by the ukraine. the russian invasion certainly hasn't helped. but yeah, a lot of grain stuck in the ukraine,

and a lot of that could turn to ra if it just stays there. the world bank has approved a 2300000000 dollar program to help countries in eastern and southern africa to deal with bootstrap. that's expected to effect about 66000000 people in the region by next month. will this actually help them? well, it's a bit of both actually. i mean, yes, it will help us. certainly that's a lot of money and that will, that will pay for, for a certain increase in grain shipment. but the problems are, are bigger than that, the problems and they just don't have to do with physical commodities like rain. one interesting thing is a grain prices have plunged 40 percent over the last 2 months. so, so the inflationary waves seems to be subsiding. which means that more rain should

be available. the other problem is indebtedness. the reason these countries are not important grain is they're running out of money. i mean, sri lanka is the best example 3. langa has, you know, as seen as death level increase, 50 percent of the last 2 years. and after that, the asterisk experiment with the organic farming science and so on able to import foodstuffs, not because that food doesn't exist, but because 3 lanka can't afford it. it's an economic problem. and now why can't more food just be simply grown to boost global supplies? but more food is being grown and the declining, we prices show that the, the, the, that the shortage is beginning to ease. but yeah, but the, the global food market is, is heavily distorted. i mean, you know,

in the west we, you, we can, you know, we grow grain in order to number one, run cars, believe or not biofuels number too much grain production goes into the, into the production of, of meat, chicken, pork, beef, etc. so, you know, so we, we consume a lot, we grow grain to, to, in order to make meet and, and other countries that are poor i'm, they, they just, they consume grain directly. but now, but it's a mis allocation of resources need is to cheat in the, in the, in the industrialized world it's, it's, it's over produced. it takes up a growing share of grain production. and the converse is true in the developing world, where grain is simply too expensive. so the system is out of whack, especially. now does this put a dent in globalism because with countries are risk in the near and distant future

of not receiving vital imports of food stuff? do you think that they will begin to turn to domestic production and consumption? yes, that will become a trend. i'm quite confident because that because the, the globalization has gone way too far. i mean, this is the international system. it's under huge strain. but when you're talking about for fertilizers, for example, the global market will remain the international commodities. and same thing is true with wheat and other and other foods, oils, etc. so i'm, so, so, so globalization won't be completely undone, but i trust it will be sort of, you know, be, you know, cut down to more realistic levels. daniel lazar, thank you so much for inside today, but stick around, we'll bring you back in just a moment to discuss the cost of fertilizer and how it's playing into the rising

food prices. the, the cost of food around the globe is having a massive impact on people. so let's take a look at 2 places where food, short it is and supply chain issues are making headlines. first to africa where food shortages are a major concern. african union chief mackie saw, has called brussels to provide some scope for african countries to pay for imported cereals, grains, and fertilizers from russia. africa wants to pay, but it's becoming absolutely impossible. as the sanctions have excluded several russian banks, including spare bank from the swift international payment mechanism. saul has reiterated that they are not dependent on rain imports, but worn, that fertilizer shortages will have a big impact on local production. now over to pakistan, this time the weather has threatened, the food supply floods have destroyed 800000 heck dares of crop and farm land in

pakistan. this has put pressure on local markets as prices have risen. not to mention a country with an all time high inflation of 27.3 percent before the floods. cotton crops also succumb to the monsoon rains with 45 percent of cotton plantations, wiped out. this has led to a shortage of cotton seed, oil and coffee cake used to feed animal stock. and when we return, fertilizers, have taken the headlines. well, why? what countries are doing to ensure that they have enough for their crops more on that when we with ah, with business and you will clean them a, b,

e does. a lot of it is just touching up group, just filling in for when you was just touching. sure. it was nice. you talked to the counselor in full, which help wishing that you use her own the what the problem you're still with me for just to watch stuff coming to on, on all kinds of twitter which you, which of the longer it was just a push to sustainable remote because there's no way you're bored. you school of course, i don't know who's got no point a to them. it was going to use just to clean it for losses. come on both of them with

this with you, i guess with you i'm with ah, with full credit, it's kind of yeah. good from beach to still easy efficient,

but in the book there with only one main thing is important for not as an internationally speaking that is at nations, cuz that's allowed to do anything, all the mazda races, and then you have the minor nations who are the slaves, americans, proc obama and others have had a concept of american exceptionalism. international law exist as long as it serves the american interest. if it doesn't, it doesn't exist by turning those russians into this dangerous go. you man,

that wants to take over the world. that was a conscious strategy. so some golf out of it on your own, i not leashed off in zebulon and tablet block. nato said it's ours. we moved east. the reason us. hey jim, it is so dangerous. is it? the law is the sovereign. all the countries exceptionalism, that american uses in its international war planning is one of the greatest threats to the populations of different nations. if nature, what is bad shareholders in united states and elsewhere in large obs companies would lose millions and millions. war is business and business is good and that is the reality of what we're facing. which is fascists. who no one no, no, no no, no,

no no. what was real to what they should end up unit 73. 1 was a unique organization in the history of the world. what they were trying to do was to simply do nothing short, then build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program that the world had ever known. a production issue or sure, doug did that. they're not able to when you suddenly we're going to keep on more more general manager thought this meant the more i got the sale. i got your name. i don't understand. i wish to know about doing home. i know you didn't

on more or less to know jr. let's i had to put up with a nice oh boy. oh boy to go or what on this to? well, she my and new on it. i'm all, i can send all 7 more good. but you know, put them out to take your boss i welcome back to the cost of everything. today we're talking about story food prices around the world, russia and bella, ruth accounts for about 40 percent of the global po has production and export, which is the commodity used for fertilizer that contains potassium. this supply destruction of po tash will also contribute to local food production, tightening,

and risk food security in many nations. so china is now trying to get ahead of the curve and has ordered its firms to stop selling fertilizer to other countries in order to preserve supplies at home and ensure steady food production. it is also looking to canada, another major producer, po, tash. now in recent years, china has acquired a state and western po, tash and western resources for politics. production, canada now expects an uptick in exploration and mining projects, as other countries have followed suit. however, it will be a case of supply meeting demand right now. as these projects have a long lead time and can take up to a year to get new mines up and running. let's bring back journalist daniel lazar so day, all right. now countries are scrambling to shore their food supply as well as their fertilizer supply in order to boost local production. so in the long run, do you see this as the beginning of a big fragmentation of the overall supply chain?

well, no, i'm quite the opposite. i mean, for, i mean, hotel potassium, so they've shown their important, i mean, and when, and when april, in april 2021, 3 lanka rapidly ordered a shift to organic fertilizers. and the results were catastrophic. rice production sell 20 percent within the matter a month. and t production a vital source of foreign earnings. sell 2, and the half 1000000 people wound up in poverty. so i'm so, so everyone knows the importance of po tash as a source of fertilizer and therefore those international markets will continue. you know, there are a number of major producers, but everyone wants to make sure that they have a, they get their fair share of the global supply. so how important is patasha for

farmers put it in perspective for us. what is the average yield for farmers growing with po tash versus without po, tash? well, it's a hard question to answer because there are a lot of other factors, but the, the 20 percent drop in 3 walk is really, is really a critical indicator. i mean, you know, that was, that was dramatic that cause lead to direct food shortages and political unwrap, which we are now seeing. so a 20 percent ball is a very bad thing. every government on earth wants to avoid that. so therefore, co tasha is a key element, an agricultural production and what's more, i mean we're going to see a probably a 30 percent increase in global population over the next half century. and that means our increased food demand, coupled with a decline and an agricultural land. so we've got to get more

food out of each acre of land and that means more, more fertilizer means a lot of sense. but among other things it means more fertilizer. so, so this where the world is, john poets hash, that addiction is not going away anytime soon. and countries livelihood depend on an ongoing supply. now without imports of po, tash, can countries begin to produce their own. and if so, how long would that take? it? that's very hard to say. i mean, alternatives are not very easily come by. and, and organics are not very especially effective. and, you know, and the number of countries, russia, canada, has been merged as major po, tash mining powers. i mean,

but mining poway potash is like no say mining coal involved. i was thinking shaft hundreds of feet into the earth and using advanced extraction techniques. now other countries could do this and they undoubtedly will do this in the coming years. but it's this, this is the commodity that will be traded internationally more and more because every country wants to wants to get a share and no country. and a lot of countries are able to rely on domestics or sources. now how the, the farming changing globally as nation space, the stress of not being able to rely on the global markets for important foods does and supplies of fertilizer. could we see the rise of some sort of farming nationalism? yeah, i think i think it's certainly possible. yes. and that as the, as economic, as the economy enters into crisis and it is entering into a crisis,

we'll see a lot of countries taking protective measures and that low in that will involve nationalism protectionism, etc. whether they will be effective or not is and in terms of increasing the food supply as highly dubious, but you know about it, but agriculture, you know, i mean all industries are in the state of flux, they always are an agriculture isn't industry. and so therefore, we have to see more effective use of land. we have to see more as more intelligent use of resources. i mean, you know, i mean americans can't hear gobbling down vast amounts of steak and like, it was like, you know, like, is it, you know, like as of a cost? nothing because it does cost a great deal. i'm not a you know, i'm and i believe i'm not a vegetarian, i believe in the meat based diet. but that, that, that, that those resources have got to be used in a, in a proper,

sensible intelligence fashion. in order to, to make the most of of these resources and the, and the, and the agricultural acreage which will have to be which will be under growing strain. and which will have to be used to produce more food for the car, for the world's growing population. daniel lazara, thank you so much for your time today. i when it comes to the cost of 1st, there are winners and losers. and in this case, the elevator food prices are not a win for farmers. farmers are mailing passing along their higher cost of production with the price of fertilizer and diesel fuel rising. the winners here again, are the logistic companies who are working to move food from the have to the have nots. and with not enough container ship, these companies are able to raise their profit margin. another winner of those,

the logistics chain is the storage market and the silo market. the global silo grain storage market is projected to register a compound it annual growth rate of 4.7 percent through 2027 allows for the losers. i bet you can guess it is a poor and middle class workers who are hit the hardest with the rising food costs, the average person will have to spend around $611.00 for food monthly in 2022 compared to 500. 32 in 2021. according to the survey done by k, p. m g in europe. that number is actually a bit higher at around 757. now finally today we will have to ask, will food prices continue to rise? specifically, what is going to happen with the price of wheat? one of the most important commodities when it comes to basic food supply, given all the factors we have discussed today and going into harvest season,

my prediction is that price per bushel wheat should level out around support at $10.30 to $10.50 cent mark, which means that the price is for you, are going to remain elevated, perhaps going a little bit higher before peaking and stabilizing for the foreseeable future. thanks for watching, i'm christy. i a see a right here next time on the cost of every hulu. oh no, i had to miss anything, but then want to find that i was with boston. do i just need to grab it to them with key at the when portion cuz keep the process is to the dealer,

molly complete cranes can that's a little bit. it was put in a rush for good. are you guys just the phone or send the full? could i get you a new video with the soon as you like to watch. do you think it would you see a professional in the city and the one you put on the list of all, but each with ah, with a payable for the most part at the summer's flooring would be up to still bill was then yet like i'm on the senior dental but the little book i think now so important initially when i would at last but i had i left that machine with the

policy daily mother started at that. what i did, what i did well, that's edible up. it's like letting me love it. but she's a 511 ash with i'm a, a little immediate z u here . so i was also the up, i'll say, no problem. like i was supposed to do a little bit of a book, you know, said you're not going to get everybody. i will grade on, you have to run it almost a center of water is thrown in the old double missional

force about stepping stones with the last sunset padilla dealers. we from the m, from hours from noon to lower the do it in b c machine. you could give to way in the pony teachers killed on the ball asia or was to look at i'm done with this in a little bolcom. the crucial chess middle school that was all senior with the modem is not, but it's good. p t d still not off with what they do, they will live up. should we, can you video to fix that would be good to go with when you go see, show the mrs. be said in the middle south, and you can give us his net that did he thought he is a battle sort of miss dempsy this material. but in the stone tossed up, even in the gray unit, should update those mydebit is still open and it doesn't help with

me. she go. she returned with a note up there, numerous my area to handle, most of whom were shot, especially with lisa. those openings and it took a little doing piece bmm. we're a little boy and a border with my listen, look and you live muscles. if you look on the initial be wallet club, not to get a dealer post on zillow while diaz can use that. but by the way, who did or to but you also the was done those up even a

what i see the senior bus is the little gear medation says decent it on bus with. oh, was reason is mean you was credited that if you speak russian, keep your voice down while out and about a couple don't put your human symbols on display a guy. so you guys in the bottom don't talk to strangers. i. 7 avoid noisy gatherings with a mushroom, even your colleagues, and perhaps also your friends think you're guilty because you'll,

russian. a glad the with being a specific social with who is the aggressor today? i'm authorizing the additional strong sanctions. today. russia is the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. a number that's constantly growing. i figure which of the problem was the question, as we speak on the believe senior mostly mind the were banned in all imports of russian oil and gas, new g. i g 's

with joe by imposing these sanctions on russia has destroyed the american economy. so there's your boomerang ah, it was not just an intentional attempt at this information, but a conscious attempt to bring nature, which is currently conducting a proxy war into a direct conflict with our country. as a buffet at the end of the reaction of western countries to the polar missile incident until russian hysteria the west continues white washing the ukrainian nationalist assault battalion. one of its u. s. members probably claims the far right are the leading force on the ground in ukraine on the 8th year saga of the age 70.
