let's bring back journalists, daniel lazar. so, daniel, 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 solves, have shown they're important. i mean, and when, and when april and april 20, 213 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, they, they get their fair share of the global supply. so how important is patasha for farmers put it in per

daniel lazar, thank you so much for your time today. i when i come to the cost of food, there are winners and losers. and in this case, 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 ships, these companies are able to raise their profit margin. another winner of 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. and as for the losers, i bet you can guess it is the 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 $500.00. 32 in 2021. according to survey done by k, p. m, g. in europe. that number is actually a bit higher at ar

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

they said from a daniel lazar now journalist and also many thanks for joining us on the program. daniel, it's lovely to see you now. first of all, let's start with a lawn must. how responsible is it of him if he is responsible for these messages, that is one of the influential is he is to be posting things like surging voters to vote republican. i see no problem with that. he's entitled to me can, you can speak his mind, expresses political views, urged voters to vote one way the other and voters themselves will make up their mind. i mean, americans are not stupid, they really aren't. they, they know who a lot musk is. they take everything, he says is a grain of salt and they are independent thinkers. so it's ridiculous to assume that somehow ilan must, can sway millions of voters, the simple tweet he's, he's bound to get criticized for there. so if he is responsible for, if i was saying that there was any yes, of course there's the, there's the faction out there which believes that the social media should be heavily regulated. they're constantly throwing their hands on the air ab
