Food inflation might be our next threat
Food prices are soaring faster than inflation and incomes around the world. Cereals for example, have reached an annual inflation of 20%, the highest annual rise since the Arab Spring. And this is not all: according to Bloomberg, tofu prices in Indonesia are 30% higher than in December, Brazilian turtle beans trade at a price 54% higher than last year and Russians are paying 61% more for sugar than last year. Although developed markets do not fear this issue as much as EM, it could quickly become an issue for everyone if it remains uncontrolled.
