Since beginning of Iran war, traders have ramped up bets on rising food prices | News from the world - nouvelles du monde | Scoop.it
The war in Iran has fuelled increased speculation on food price rises, with investors pouring billions of dollars into agricultural commodities in recent months. Disruption to global trade is driving up transport, energy, and fertiliser costs, raising fears of food shortages and increased global hunger.
