rising food prices, which everyone knows by now, or it has been noticed at the checkout.
The prices for staple foods around the world to shoot so much in the height of the pig and cattle breeders in Canada, Great Britain and the U.S. already need to make emergency slaughter, because they feed their animals. Sequence is also bound to the flesh soon becomes a luxury item. The starving population in the poorer countries of the world, I do not need extra mention. Everyone knows by now that there famine right now are commonplace.
A UN spokeswoman coined in this regard, in April this year the term "silent tsunami."
threatened because the current famine, like an invisible danger now more than a hundred million people on every continent and in many countries has already led to riots.
The average world price for rice since the beginning of 2006 has increased by 217 percent, wheat by 136 percent, maize by 125 percent and soybeans by 107 percent. Cause of this extreme price increases were mainly but not, as is currently widely adopted only by the massive production of biofuel. No, the primary driver is rather the inexorable decline of the U.S. economy, the collapse of the dollar, the financial crisis the catastrophic to the entire world market impact and will have.
investors make known since the collapse of the markets for financial derivatives are desperate panic buying and selling in the hope or just make a quick profit, while you still can. They come from their deposits and mortgage securities and seek their salvation in the food industry raw materials. On Wall Street this is known already to the "Commodity Super Cycle".
speculators will try in this moment with the price of water to achieve maximum profit. Only a matter of time until water So too is a little affordable luxury.
What does this mean in the long run for all of us can be sure everyone even imagine.
And certainly one can imagine what this means for the 2.8 billion people, about half the world population means living on less than two dollars a day.
According to the Chicago firm Cole Partners, the activities of hedge funds in commodities over the past two years has tripled to 55 billion dollars. This purchase is known as "futures", which means that they earn a higher profit in the future, the higher their goods rise in value. According to current estimates, the stock futures for wheat in December by about 73 percent will increase, with soybeans by 52 percent and soybean oil by 44 percent. The German Bank estimates that will double the price of rice and increase the price of wheat in the short term by 80 percent.
a lucrative business that is for those who invest in futures. Each drought, just as currently in Australia, or the significantly lower harvest in Canada is a welcome event for those who invest the food commodities. In quite a short time, this raw oil, the black gold to the rear seats are degraded.
Andreas Grünewald founder of the Munich Investment Club (MIC), according to a Spiegel report says: "Raw materials are the mega trend of the decade, and his company had no intention of their involvement in water and agricultural to intensify products. . Investment of MIC have in wheat alone has profit margins of 93 percent for the 2,500 members of the club dropped "The fact that the MIC and waste its members have no regard to the disastrous consequences that has its speculative investment policy for undeveloped countries Grünewald commented," The most our members are rather passive and yield-oriented ". Well, you could probably reckless, contemptuous and call people greedy.
Let us together so that the current food shortages, soaring prices, hunger and the threat of mass extinction of the direct consequences of speculation and greed of investors are trying desperately themselves and their shareholders from the financial plight of the U.S., the collapse of the dollar to maneuver out. It's possible that the U.S. government, corporations like Monsanto and other biotechnology and food companies, the highest government subsidies paid trying to take stock of the way of food commodities from the financial plight, as it places with the help of such groups, a new monopoly. After all, most of these trade goods are valued most in U.S. dollars and traded. The U.S. invests huge sums in the biofuel production and use for just such vast quantities of basic foodstuffs. Next year it is expected that in the United States, the cultivation of maize for ethanol rises to 114 million tons, almost a third of the total maize production. Through subsidies, the farmers are almost forced to grow only corn for biofuel. The Food and inevitably the people remain on the track. In Germany, the growing of maize continues to increase. However, not as fodder for animals and humans, but as food for biogas plants and the production of biofuel. Simultaneously, the percentage drops in revenues for the food industry. The result is this food is more expensive.
When I look at me this development, the global media and electoral propaganda campaign, many politicians get pregnant on climate change two years ago a very unique flavor. Is there possibly any links? Was all this panic about the climate crisis at that time only spread by exactly the development on the way to bring the date today? So you can fill in with our genetic engineering and supposedly environmentally friendly fuels? Where has long been clear now the GM seed is less productive than the so-called Biological and biofuel causes more pollution than the existing one.
Did this planned "silent tsunami" may have already started years ago and has been unstoppable this, thanks to politics, business and the media's destructive wave spread over all of us? Then God help us! For then the current food crisis is only the beginning.
Thank you for your interest
