Global food prices hit their highest level in more than three years in July, according to figures from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), as reported by Reuters.
The rise in food prices is attributed to several factors, including weather conditions and climate change, and the escalation of war in the Middle East and the war in Ukraine, which affect grain shipments across the Black Sea.
وصرح كبير الاقتصاديين في منظمة الأغذية والزراعة التابعة للأمم المتحدة لوكالة رويترز للأنباء بأن العالم قد يواجه موجة أخرى من تضخم أسعار الغذاء، حيث تخلق الحروب في إيران وأوكرانيا وظاهرة النينيو المناخية “عاصفة مثالية” من ارتفاع التكاليف وانخفاض غلة المحاصيل.
Food organizations in Europe and Denmark have already warned that summer heat waves and a dry spring will affect crops and prices, according to DR.
In Denmark, the latest official data from Statistics Denmark shows that food prices fell by 0.9% in June 2026 compared to the same month last year, but economists warn that continued disruptions to global supply chains and rising shipping and energy costs could lead to renewed pressure on food prices in the coming months.
