Ample supply and a knock to consumption in the event of a global recession threaten to produce a 'market shock' as food prices tumble, the U.N.'s food agency and the OECD said in a report published on Thursday.
PARIS - Ample supply and a knock to consumption in the event of a global recession threaten to produce a “market shock” as food prices tumble, the U.N.’s food agency and the OECD said in a report published on Thursday.
“The macroeconomic shocks induced by the COVID-19 pandemic are expected to put downward pressure on agricultural commodity prices,” they said, adding there was potential for “a historically significant market shock” this year. The impact on vegetable oil and animal-based products would be greater than for staple crops such as rice and wheat, they added.
Some commodity prices have recovered in recent weeks, helped by an easing of lockdowns, although traders say the demand outlook remains uncertain as the virus continues to spread. [nR1N2BQ002]
