If observed seriously, there have been rising world food prices sharply since 2002, and the highest possible during the period 2006 to 2008. Any increase in food prices, the poorest communities who were the first victims. The data indicate that food prices in international markets in the period 2002 – 2008 more due to the increased production of biofuels derived from grains and oil seeds, especially in the United States and the European Union. If no increase in biofuel production, the world’s wheat and maize stocks would not fall sharply. Similarly, rising prices of oil seeds is also caused by rapidly rising demand for raw materials for biodiesel production.
Perhaps the practice of grain export bans and speculative activities would not occur if no increase in grain prices are so sharp because the greater the demand for biofuels. Rising energy prices and fertilizer also caused by rising production costs between 15-20% in America and less than that number for other countries that are less production. READ MORE »
