Surprises of the nature and why the prices of products have flied up Also, because of the drought, entire harvest of sunflower has suffered. As a result, demands for sunflower oil were increased, and the price of a bottle has jumped up 2 times. One more victim of hot summer became cows. Meadows of New Zealand, the milkiest country of the world, have turned to the dried clearings. Cows ate not as good as before and have given a less quantity of milk. But the consumption of milk grows year from the year, which is connected with the general enthusiasm of the inhabitants of the different countries by healthy nourishment and by the entrance into “milk reign” of China (earlier the inhabitants of this country didn’t use milk at all in nourishment). In addition - the countries of the European Union have cancelled grants to their farmers for the production of milk, and those, in its turn, began to refund expenditures due to a wallet of usual citizens. There can be an impression that the given situation is very favorable to Russia and that Russian can go on the world market with their milk. But, the fact is, that in the developed countries demand not for milk, but for the milk powder. In Russia dry milk practically is not produced. It is obtained, that the whims of nature, global warming and the constantly being increased demand for the products twist the circle of inflation. The prices of raw material (grain) rises and as consequence the prices for all those products which are made from this raw material have grown. An increase in the cost of grain entails a rise of prices of the milk and meat. Sharp shortage of sunflower leads to a rise in price of sunflower oil. And expensive milk and vegetable oil conduct to an increase in the prices of many other products.
The reason is connected with the global warming of climate on the planet and the consequences of this process are natural cataclysms. In Argentina, Canada and Greece — the largest suppliers of grain on the world market — all the summer long there was an unknown drought. Grain is simply burnt-out. But the countries, which trade of grain is less active (England, Germany, France), have been flooded by rains. There grain rotted. It is obtained, that in the world was formed the sharp deficiency of this product. The reserves of grain are at the lowest level in the last 50 years. The population of planet constantly increases, and the countries, especially Asian, try to snatch to itself at least the part of “bread” resource. Into the action the principle of auction enters. Precious resource is obtained by the one who pay highest price. For example, price for the ton of Russian grain has grown 1.5 times in the comparison with last year price.
The reason of the happened cost-increase lies in the fact that in the entire world now occur the reconsideration of “agricultural values”. Many farmers come to the conclusion that to grow up grain is unprofitable. Bread costs too cheap in comparison, for example, with rapeseed (Brassica napus).These plants it is possible to use as a fodder for the cattle, and to the production of gasoline. With the same expenditures under the conditions of “double purpose” of this plant and constant rise of price of petroleum products -the ton of rapeseed is twice expensively than the ton of wheat. And the farmers of world sow increasingly more fields with rapeseed. For example, in Germany field sowed with rapeseed make already 40 percent of planted areas. Besides in the rapeseed fields the uses of chemical fertilizers are eliminated. Usually wheat from those fields is already hazardous to health because of fertilizers.
