Shoppers scramble for staples as food fallout from war spread

ISTANBUL/LONDON/CAIRO (March 7): The shockwaves in global crop markets from Russia's invasion of Ukraine are now spreading to store shelves.
Worries about surging sunflower oil prices triggered heavy buying over the weekend in Turkey, as footage of citizens trying to grab tins of cheaper oil at one store went viral. In Egypt, the world's biggest wheat importer, prices for some unsubsidised bread have jumped in the past week.
The war has already driven wheat prices nearly 70% higher in Chicago this year and is threatening to upend global food trade ? Russia and Ukraine are vital suppliers of grains, vegetable oil, and fertilisers, which means that supply disruptions will be felt all over the world. Wheat prices have reached levels last seen during the 2008 global food-price crisis ? which helped spark widespread protests ? and a United Nations index of food prices hit a record in February. In Turkey, sunflower oil is the main cooking oil and a key component of food spending. Images of a 18-litre tin being sold for 989 liras (US$69) spurred debates on the cost of living, while the item was not available at all on the websites of some grocery chains.
The concern over sunflower oil prices is related to imports stuck at ships at the Sea of Azov, the north-eastern tip of the Black Sea, according to Ahmet Atici, secretary-general of the Vegetable Oil Industry. The group sent a letter to the Trade Ministry earlier this month, warning that current supplies might last only to mid-April.
A trade group in the European Union has warned it could run dry of sunflower oil by a similar time, with the lost volumes from Ukraine impossible to offset .
Ukraine and Russia together account for about three quarters of global exports of sunflower oil.
You can take comfort that despite the market retreated close to 26 points most plantation stocks were also not spared. Taan and BPlant could still able to close higher
Most people know the price of CPO is going higher and higher but no one is telling the cost is also going up higher fertilizer labour etc all going up but production is going down I think tats why latuk wong is selling
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
