On the anniversary of the deadly port explosion, Ammoula embraces local products and cuisine as the way to survive. Soaring food prices have become an issue in many parts of the world. Lebanon, which relies heavily on imports, is one of the region’s most vulnerable countries. Food prices shot up 400% in December, according to government data, and more than half of the nation’s population has plunged into poverty since the economic crisis commenced in August 2019 and was compounded by the Covid-19 pandemic and the port explosion.

Michael Hamati emerged from a long queue at a Beirut bakery sweat dripping from his forehead, as Lebanon's economic collapse sparks increasing shortages including over bread.
"There's nothing left in this country," said the 72-year-old, as dozens of people clamoured behind him in the simmering heat for their turn.
Lebanese flocked to bakeries before dawn Friday, desperate to find affordable bread in a country where fuel and medicine are already in critically short supply.

Dans son deuxième « Observatoire agriculture » dévoilé le 20 juillet dernier, le groupe bancaire BPCE relève quatre grandes tendances de développement des exploitations agricoles ces deux dernières années. Outre la quête de croissance par l’agrandissement, bon nombre d’agriculteurs cherchent tantôt à se diversifier, tantôt à mutualiser les moyens, ou encore à poursuivre une démarche agroécologique. Des voies d’avenir qui transforment, lentement mais sûrement, le paysage agricole français.

Production prospects for AMIS crops remain generally favourable for 2021/22 and despite expectation of stronger demand, the overall outlook points to a more comfortable supply situation in the new season as compared to 2020/21. In fact, prices in international markets have declined from their recent peaks due in part to more reassuring fundamental factors. However, with weather risks still posing threats to major producers, inflation fears encouraging speculative purchases, energy prices firming, and pandemic-induced uncertainties remaining, markets are set to stay volatile with upside potential for prices not waning anytime soon.

Country still seeking other import opportunities as Brazil’s grain production is challenged by drought. A jump in winter grains production is expected to reduce Spain’s import demand, according to a report from the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). For the second year in a row, favorable weather conditions have led to a strong winter grains crop. Spain is expected to produce 24 million tonnes of grain in the 2021-22 marketing year.

Global food commodity prices fell in July for the second consecutive month, according to a benchmark United Nations report released today. The FAO Food Price Index averaged 123.0 points in July 2021, 1.2 percent lower than the previous month although still 31.0 percent higher than its level in the same period of 2020. The index tracks changes in the international prices of the most globally traded food commodities. The July drop reflected declines in the quotations for most cereals and vegetable oils as well as dairy products.

As time runs out for government subsidies in Lebanon, the troubled country faces an uphill battle to keep its population fed as food prices continue to rise, driven up by an ever-deepening liquidity crisis and a severe dependency on imported foreign goods. Despite having the highest proportion of arable land in the Arab world with more than 200,000 hectares (494,000 acres), Lebanon’s own agricultural sector has gone underfunded and underdeveloped for many years, hindered by a lack of modern equipment and inefficient production techniques.

Last week, a draft report by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warned that warming across the Mediterranean will be about 20 percent higher than global averages in the decades to come as the region is hit by devastating heatwaves, water shortages, loss of biodiversity and risks to food production.
The release of these initial findings coincided with wildfires, mainly caused by record high temperatures, raging through vast wooded regions of Turkey, Greece, Cyprus and Lebanon in recent weeks.

Dans un premier bilan réalisé avant la fin de la moisson, FranceAgriMer, Arvalis et Terres Inovia évoquent des rendements plutôt satisfaisants en moyenne mais très disparates selon les zones. Côté qualité des grains, a priori on évite la catastrophe, même si l’hétérogénéité domine là aussi.

At the end of July, conditions are generally mixed for wheat and favourable for maize, rice, and soybeans with a few areas of concern. For wheat in the northern hemisphere, harvesting of winter wheat is wrapping up while spring wheat harvesting is beginning. For maize, harvesting is nearing completion in the southern hemisphere and is underway in the northern hemisphere. Rice conditions are favourable throughout Southeast Asia, transplanting of Kharif season rice continues in India, and single and late-season rice continues to develop in China. Soybeans are developing under generally favourable conditions in the northern hemisphere.

Bahia Blanca grain port returns to normal operations after five-day disruption. Argentina’s Bahia Blanca grain port returned to normal operations on Aug. 5 after five days of disruptions due to a truckers’ protest that included roadblocks, Reuters reported. The protest, which kept grains cargoes from entering the terminal, could resume in 72 hours if the truckers’ demands, which include higher wages, aren’t met, Carlos Sosa, a member of the board of the Bahia Blanca Port Management Consortium told Reuters.

The effects of weather on the 2021/22 global wheat crop have sparked a run-up in prices even as harvest progresses in the Northern Hemisphere. Given the market’s supply concerns, U.S. Wheat Associates (USW) gathered information from major wheat exporting countries to see what may affect USDA’s next estimates of world supply and demand due on Aug. 12. Both USDA and the International Grain Council (IGC) still expect 2021/22 global wheat crop production to reach a record level. USDA’s July estimate of 792.4 million metric tons (MMT) was down 2.0 MMT from June. IGC trimmed its latest forecasts by about 1.0 MMT to 788 MMT. Hot, dry weather in the northern and Pacific Northwest (PNW) regions of the United States and, recently, in Canada, has attracted much of the market’s attention.
