What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Global food inflation is accelerating and is expected to persist into 2027, driven by multiple supply shocks. War-related shipping disruptions, attacks on grain infrastructure, and the US-Israeli war on Iran have increased fuel and fertilizer costs. Simultaneously, El Niño-driven drought and weak monsoons are hurting harvests.

The combination of geopolitical conflicts and climate stress is squeezing cereal supplies globally. This puts considerable pressure on low- and middle-income countries across Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa, where food accounts for a large share of household spending.
