The article discusses warnings from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) about potential food price increases due to factors such as wars, El Niño effects, rising production costs, and reduced crop areas. It notes that while energy crisis has not yet significantly impacted food prices, this temporary calm may be short-lived. The main economic impact is expected to begin later in the year, particularly in 2027, with higher raw material costs gradually affecting food prices over three to six months. In Slovenia, initial price hikes are anticipated for wheat-based products like flour, bread, pastries, pasta, and semolina. Global wheat, corn, and rice prices have already risen, exacerbated by reduced planting areas due to expensive nitrogen fertilizers and the impact of the war with Iran. The article also mentions concerns about the El Niño effect altering rainfall patterns, leading to droughts or floods in key agricultural regions. Additionally, delays in India’s monsoon season affect global rice supplies. Slovenian traders expect two waves of inflation: first late autumn, then early 2027, with the first wave impacting vegetables, fruits, and wine, and the second focusing on酿造业
