10:30 pm
ah join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah ah, 3 with water is thrown in the old double and the snow falls about oscar. when this comes with idealists, we strongly em from kaiser. ours. but on the on to lower the do it in bt refraining a good gift away in the pals teacher skills on the edge on the brown asia. so was to let them know that we're getting a little bolcom in the crucial chest middle school. and also i was speaking with kick molding is not that good. p t. d still not off with the leukemia. well they need to work with up sheet. any video gets there will be a good go with when you go see sure. the missed they need in the middle south and
10:31 pm
you can give us his net. but did he thought he is supposed to have this done? see this material, but he lost phone to even in the so clay, you need to locate those slideshow big just to look me. it doesn't help with them. you have yet to me. she go, she returned with please i got up there. numerous quiet. so to it almost all as you mama shuttle specially to renew with lisa, there's other engine, you talk a little of doing piecemeal. mm. ah. the effects arriving food prices have rippled through the economy from governments and hosing ice controlled and played with cutting back in other areas as to take up
10:32 pm
a blowing chunk of their wallet. jack, this is especially true in emerging market for food represents a large share of overall consumer spending. global food prices have now sort of 65 percent since the start of the call, the 10 meg. add that to the recent years of dry weather and it's been the perfect storm for commodity food prices to rise. i'm because b i and you're watching the cost of everything. i the price of everything that goes into producing crops as surging, which threatens to fan global food inflation even more. and even with the rising food prices, farmers are facing increasingly tough margins. so let's take a quick look at the price of man goes over in australia, over the last decade, the cost to produce mangoes have doubled. so to mitigate farmers have taken steps like minutes rising the trees and reducing diesel consumption. but the current sort of crude oil is still crushing margins and it's not just oil, fuel, water,
10:33 pm
fertilizer and labor all for inputs have gone up in the past couple of years. prices for fertilizer, which is used for practically all crops, have risen dramatically in the past year. and in the u. s. farmers on average budget, about $700.00 to $850.00 per acre for input costs for cheaper commodities, such as corn and soybeans. but in 2022, that number has hovered around $1150.00. so let's look at the average inflation of basic input cost that goes into that $1150.00 for planted corn. you have a 5 percent inflation and chemicals like pesticides and err besides. then you have 13 percent inflation in seeds. since you have to have the latest varieties that are stronger or more resistant, machinery and equipment are also going to cost you an additional 18 percent than previous years. and then you have fuel and fertilizer that you're seeing 22 percent
10:34 pm
inflation with the rising diesel costs. and finally, labor. that's an additional 30 percent as everyone's basic cost of living has shot up. and we just need to keep up for some families to continue to work. now let's bring in some miranda mojave asia regional director for the international potato center joining us all the way from lima peru for more details. so to start off, which segment of the food supply chain is getting impacted the hardest? is it, the farmers, the grocers, or the processors? i would say though, the most him back to go up and do was not the people in between those the in the supply and then i was merely getting impacted because in fact i just said that i is in the input size, particularly for the bases and the base is, did i so, and also on the top of that we have seeing the way that uncertainty in many countries. i just log out to all these things happening in the family,
10:35 pm
getting definitely impacted to that. then you have, the last thing is i, i go to the can do list so the controllers are getting impacted. but one thing i would like to mention that they're going to do was in the developed countries that being impacted lot. and they're going to listen because the way the food will assisting sector in terms of concentration there. you know, we have the record duffy, dr. glen companies, the meat packing company in the us and use them. but you don't see that it is so much. so i don't think, you know, i think in the us the but i have been jacked by all the food company and the company, and they're too big that the ice maker. but it is. yeah. they're all small. they're not as big guys. gotta get in there. so they may get a place to go, so they're the pass to the 5 days in this. but will not, jackie, don't beyond that?
10:36 pm
so i would say the love country and you must have being impacted lot more than the developing countries just because the structure of the industry and now how much more expensive is sustainable agriculture. and why is it so much more expensive to produce than their quote unquote unsustainable counterparts? yeah, i think, i don't think sustainable goes in in the expensive than the unsustainable on. first of all, the conventional factors that with conventional production system. but just just remember that the, all our policies are kind of formulated to support the conventional systems that give 3 inputs, subsidized for ledgers. all these things up to the basic staple, there in the thing back and then got it. intensive in port applications to, to get started, the model output. so the smallest policy driven,
10:37 pm
other policy induced which is making a little expensive as compared to the conventional. but it will give a level, playing field, bullet, sustainable, and convincing and sustainable will be lot of money and expensive. for example, to extend that we'd be happens in parts of many parts of a, particularly not with india where the, where the job running right after that. i saw that you have in the blood because the windows. but he saw the plan that we only have 15 days to clear the fees and we did so they are forced to bond struggle. but that's the one thing i think millions of people, millions of people in daily rounding area. so the next on the bottom left that wants to pay on this project. so the lease and the
10:38 pm
plan, the next. so the partly policy spartley extra reality, which making the sustainable practices lot more expensive. it looks expensive on us and it will then, but i would say it completely for the market. no policy intervention such and that will be it will not be any expensive. and the congress back, does it say that some of the inflated food costs are actually artificial, at least part of it, as it seems to be more so policy driven as the plans for a more sustainable food production system. so how much of the food inflation is actually coming from policy? and is this move towards sustainable farming, decreasing yield? i think in the, in the sustainable back, this is one thing i would say when we one with the 5 was proud of small the, the cost in boston holding the start when moving from conventional to sustainable there. and eventually longer there much will benefit. but the father was really not
10:39 pm
looking for the longer they will give you sort of what happened to you after that you know what they do, they do back the sustainable practices, long term life, then you lose much, they will be much less there. so everything will include the eel will increase cost will declaim that, but the problem is that i don't think sustainable lack this is particular that you love is diving the depletion, the you look in sustainable fact is that they come in being in terms of the loading for the best, if i can, because i don't think that piece going to that is even though i mean for them to put phase inflation, we see it is given policy given, but it was partly given by the developing countries other, other parts of the one they're taking those into, you know, there's to 6 on the export back, the export ban, those federal thing back to sitting there for the food places. not the question.
10:40 pm
the fact is that whoever the policy is directed was the distinction that, including the places you know, so not the taxes. and now what crops are getting impacted the most by the rising input costs are farmers shifting into specific crops because they are easier and don't require as much fertilizer while yielding higher harvest? got it. i think it mostly the rising cost of the other things. they're getting impacting the cups, mostly the ice, they know it's nice in most part of it then. then eventually the next couple which has been back to them and many cases, far less are moving to maybe less input intensive like glendale responses in some cases. but that's not pretty light scale as really isolated the bottom of moving into some of these gums and particularly that they're
10:41 pm
moved to other cups because of the once a deficit impacts of india, their particular india. they move from the ice to other go those months when deficit the so they could not plan to military. but that, as i said, that's where the isolated gifts not, not, not a life skill initiated fed miranda ha, ha, ha, thank you so much for and i now as base the commodities make their way down the supply chain on to your table. let's take a look at the restaurant industry. restaurants are not being spared from these issues. on top of dealing with the surging inflation and food costs. operators have experience supply delays or shortages of key food ingredients. restaurants are now pay higher prices for many of their food items as their margins are being squeezed . profitability is down from pre pandemic levels for the vast majority of
10:42 pm
restaurants. now away combat climate change be a secret driver of inflation. there is a theory that extreme was there might be a driving force or higher inflation and we'll have more after the break. ah ah mm mm. to come to the russian state. oh, never. i've started us on the most landscape with 55 with disabilities home and he's gonna be the one else calls with we've real bad in the european union, the kremlin media machine,
10:43 pm
the state on russia today. and archie spoke back to even our video agency, roughly all crammed on youtube with i live so glad i shall cloth it. what is the best time to do about them? this is a little bit of a lady with what i see school for car. what report backwards. thank same you something that might give me a port court order. the status of a national krinski picks data, which it it said to jeff. so i'm use the mean you to one that you even don't can be
10:44 pm
coma. listen, go and be a couple of somebody mp community that they've got a left really not result. like it's supposed to be set up like you still affected or only out of them. so i did need it with us. that's clear but, but that was the wouldn't the spoken to me right now for what your thought is looking at them during the summer because i see a reason why we should show critical much but we're can i love chris? was it was it was the new big us over for you. so they should i see it in august of chicago that were still a little bit. i'm proud of it. when i would love to get the notice of it. now it shows the wrong one. i
10:45 pm
just don't hold any rules yet to see how this thing becomes the advocate an engagement. it was betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds born, we choose to look for common ground. ah
10:46 pm
ah aah tucker with the quote issue, just an asshole sheet to work on your voice keyboard which mutually which could up below. what do you see is not a simple device with ecology? yes. yeah. i just came up to the attorney, 11, and then you left. when you read what you post, the flute video was. do you see? no one actually spoke up? did it when you are so visual with
10:47 pm
just a quick missed issue with genius with close to who should move you? lou do do is just us. oh boy at the tone please. yeah, it's no, it's not would you but as little food you can, but the most money still to with i'm to write an article. how can i those numbers of national with that slow out with basically by the same with ah, the climate change a speaker driver of inflation? well, there is a very bad extreme weather. worse than by climate change is
10:48 pm
a hidden cost of food inflation, which threatens to push up already high prices of food, heavy rainfall flooding, heat weighs and grouse, a road agriculture infrastructure, and the workers ability to stay on the job. china has suffered multiple weather disruptions from flash floods to severe droughts. and earlier this year in august the country issued its 1st route emergency as central and southern provinces suffered weeks of extreme heat exceeding 40 degrees celsius. now this has jeopardized crop production as rice is very sensitive to weather and nearly 60 percent of that is rain fed farming in europe, dairy, and meet prices are rising as browse dry out the land meant for raising and growing grain for feed. and meanwhile, historic rains and floods in europe and south korea that makes it hard for communities to rebuild and get back to work cause a massive delays in supply chains. so while extreme weather is affecting supply,
10:49 pm
research hasn't yet quantified the exact impact extreme weather has unemployment. and now we bring in, once again, some miranda mohan t asia regional director for international potato center. so 1st off, now what countries crop yield is being affected most by this extreme weather we're seeing this year. you know, because the ice now being impacted in many states, particularly in the bank like this. so the lot a lot of the cup in some key, the ice going countries and now what about the livestock, our livestock also being affected by extreme weather lives there being done back, they're going to be impacted to increase in the base. the ice goes up. that's going to affect the phase and that's not many life fade the 100
10:50 pm
percent look nice, but example it in the under pressure book and i said to the ice and same time, 100 percent book and exported to west african countries or india would export ban on 100 percent localized to make sure they didn't know feed feed but in the country . so i stuff will be back to the grants are impacted. and now we've talked about the food inflation problem that we're facing today. where do you think the problem is mainly stemming from? is it policy driven, as farmers have less access to fertilizers and higher costs due to sustainable farming practices? or is it demand driven as they're just too many mouth to feed? or is it supply chain driven? or something else entirely, or you would, that is going to be this all the most of the same lead to be mostly be able to do to the supply stocks risking due to the way the uncertainty in both
10:51 pm
america so so, so these would be more driven by the way, the and then the, the reaction by the countries in terms of the putting intervention, particularly many indonesia india export band on with export ban on by 100 percent book and then export band some other type of price. but those export tax on some of those in the export band. and then if you claim, so the lot of different countries policy the sticks and is to make sure that they're not available in the domestic market. so that being the inflation this deadly. but it all started, i would say, going back to the beginning of the pen to be when it started start doing with the logistics asportation level thought to this, then we have the one, you know,
10:52 pm
you can let that be back. there we go. and we've explored sunflower the board, so the site and now it was new weather. so it can be there. so everything is going to call me, they've been having like a level of taxes globally. so it's really like the perfect storm is above external. exactly. and the thing is that the dog has already these the big in the country, particularly us and you know, but the dog is body know, starting the beginning will be taking out a couple of months or 3 months to big. they'd always lack between the, the price this bonds in the, in the basis once in the because a lot of ways you're going to only think of into the united states and just like export x export ban and keep go mystic law for the wise. so we are seeing that lack there, so we left the money in the global prices continue to fun. they will see the price
10:53 pm
is big and the start. but that's the main to see what happens with a global base, the united nation world food program. they have come out to say that this crisis is actually about affordability, meaning that there is foot available, but that these prices are just really hot. so do you agree or is it just putting a nicer spin on things? no, i think the 6 of the society the what was that impacted by the base increase and affordable if they can come into the play that but they have a lot of social security that you talk about india. that is where the places are subsidized for the income group. and so they have, they have not been impacted by the affordability by so much, but it actually got a big, big because
10:54 pm
a lot of safety net them there that impacted by the global basis. so. so i think that that plays into legend starting part of the world. what different and thank you so much. so miranda mohammed for being here with us today. now, who are the winners and losers of the actual food prices? food prices have hit their highest rate of growth in some 43 years, and unfortunately it is hitting the low income people the hardest as food eats into a greater percentage of their budgets. now between july of 2021 to july of 2020 to the price of eggs jump. 38 percent. coffee jumped 20 percent chicken. 16 percent bread, 13 percent. so as anyone really went here. well yes. because the money always flows upstream and many other couple companies making fertilizer are boosting their
10:55 pm
bottom line. monsanto is also building stronger though controversial feeds, pulled cash and tara are selling fertilizer to boost crop yields. so those industries are in a good position as the overall global food supply is drinking relative to demand as the world population grows. so how long is food inflation going to last? well, it looks like it's here to stay for the foreseeable future as so many policies are unintentionally yielding lower crop harvest. so the prices will continue to increase in the near camp, but should be sometime in 2023 as supplies stabilizer and farmers in message expanding their acreage. again, thanks for watching. i'm to see i and i see you next time right here on the cost of everything. ah, ah
10:56 pm
ah. the claims of the king of the belgians leopold the 2nd to the congo were finally authorized by the leading european countries in 18. 85. in the very heart of the african continent, a state under the rule of the belgian monarch was declared. since the beginning, the congo free state was total mayhem for the local population and functioned as a universal concentration camp. the majority of the population, including women and children, were forced to work on the rubber plantations. those who failed to fulfill their quota were beaten and mutilated. to keep the congolese people under control, the king set up the so called for spook leak, which were punitive detachments that cast terror on the captured country and its inhabitants. fearing that their subordinates would simply waste bullets hunting for
10:57 pm
wild animals, the officers demanded that the soldiers gave an answer for every bullet used. and as proof presented a chop hand of an african. it was not uncommon when trying to justify the use of the ammunition, the colonist amputated the hands of not only those who were dead, but also of those who were kept alive. the atrocious exploitation of the congo turned into a real genocide in only 20 years. the policy of the belgian lead to the death of nearly 10000000 people alongside the holocaust, the genocide of the congo population is considered to be one of the grimmest pages in the history of mankind. ah
10:58 pm
oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? direct? what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the
