🌽 The cost of tortillas, essential for 90% of Mexican households, is expected to rise sharply in 2025 due to drought-driven corn shortages, international trade rulings on GM corn, and increased production expenses. Experts warn of a potential 40% price hike, threatening food security and the survival of small producers. The National Corn and Tortilla Plan seeks to stabilize prices, but significant challenges persist. 📖 Read the full article on #MexicoBusinessNews. #Tortillas #FoodSecurity #CornPrices #AgriFoodIndustry #FoodSecurity https://lnkd.in/eb4JNRFc

Now published! #Peanut #Update: June 2024 Brazil out of the equation for peanut importers in western Europe US peanut exports higher y/y between August 2023-March 2024 Chinese peanut market is still weak and quiet The European peanut market seems to have woken up to the fact that Brazil had a terrible crop and that there won’t be any relief coming from this origin. Alex Izmirlian, general manager of US company Alimenta Agri, noted that as a result of this, stocks in western Europe continue to be very low with most of the early shipments from Argentina being accounted for. “That situation should last for several more months. This is keeping the Rotterdam spot market very firm,” he added. Izmirlian warned that the extent of the crop problems in Brazil is unclear, but this origin is not expected to sell any additional material to western Europe. The crop has issues not only with quantity but, in particular, with quality. Subscribers can access the complete article via the link below:- https://lnkd.in/eSiYXaFs

In the first 21 days of June, Brazil's coffee exports fell by 25%. If this performance doesn't improve, it could expose the problem that has already been detected in the field, which is low coffee yields due to poor granation caused by excessive heat and drought in recent months. In fact, ripening is about 40 days ahead of schedule, and the harvest will be quicker because the fruit is dry on the tree. There are already producers in Mogiana and the South of Minas who have finished harvesting, and are sweeping up the coffee that has fallen to the ground. By the end of July the harvest should be over. The coffee cycle from Blossom to Ripe Fruit is approximately 200 days, if you're 40 days early, that's 20% less time than the fruit has had to grow. A premature baby, but coffee doesn't grow once it's ripe, so the USDA's crop potential will be greatly diminished. I personally believe that Brazil will harvest around 58/60 million bags. So it won't be an abundant harvest to supply the world. Keeping an eye on the Brazilian harvest is the key.

Coffee prices are rising due to concerns about long-term damage to the coffee crop due to drought conditions in Brazil. Rainfall in Brazil has been consistently below average since April, damaging coffee trees during the all-important flowering stage and reducing the outlook for Brazil's 2025/26 arabica coffee crop,” explains international website Barchart. “Coffee prices also have support remaining from last Thursday, when the USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) projected Brazil's 2024/25 coffee production at 66.4 million tons, down from the USDA's previous forecast of 69.9 million. The USDA's FAS also projects Brazil's coffee stocks at 1.2 million bags at the end of the 2024/25 season in June, down -26% on last year,” adds the publication.

What does this mean for us? With resources like land, water, and crops becoming increasingly scarce, we are at a turning point. Traditional methods alone will not sustain us in a world where climate challenges, like Brazil’s drought, threaten vital crops such as coffee. This is where food tech becomes a game changer, not as a replacement but as a partner to nature. By leveraging innovations like fermentation and upcycling, we can preserve and even enhance natural tastes while reducing the strain on finite resources. It is about doing more with less while staying true to the essence of what we love.
