عالمی خوراک کی قیمتیں 2022 کے بعد بلند ترین سطح پر، FAO کی وارننگ

World food prices surged in August to their highest level since late 2022, with the FAO Food Price Index averaging 133.3 points, up from July. This increase is attributed to extreme weather, the threat of El Nino, and war-related disruptions in the Black Sea and US-Iran conflict, impacting cereal, vegetable oil, and sugar markets. The FAO cut its 2026 global cereal production forecast, signaling tighter supply expectations. For Pakistan, rising global food prices could exacerbate domestic inflation and put pressure on the PKR, potentially making gold more expensive in local currency terms.
