This surge was primarily driven by a sharp jump in international prices for vegetable oils and meat.<\/p>\n<p>The index for oilseeds climbed 7.1% from June, reaching its highest point in three years. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Prices for meat also reached a historic high, with the index rising 1.2% to 127.3 points. This was driven by soaring prices for beef and lamb, linked to robust import demand from China and the United States, as well as the resumption of poultry exports from Brazil, the world\u2019s largest exporter, which had been impacted by an avian flu outbreak. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Observers note that the vegetable oils price index will remain one to watch in the coming months, <a href=\"https:\/\/northafricapost.com\/89633-global-food-prices-hit-two-year-high-driven-by-vegetable-oils-and-meat.html\">https:\/\/northafricapost.com\/89633-global-food-prices-hit-two-year-high-driven-by-vegetable-oils-and-meat.html<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Global food prices surge to two-year high amid supply crunches<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Global Food Price Index hits highest level since February 2023, driven by surging vegetable oil and meat prices.<\/li>\n<li>Vegetable oils rise 7 percent to a three-year high amid lower palm oil output and biofuel demand for soy oil.<\/li>\n<li>Meat prices hit an all-time record due to strong U.S.-China demand and Brazil\u2019s poultry rebound post-avian flu.<\/li>\n<li>Fragile states face heightened risk of food insecurity and political unrest as prices climb.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>August 13, 2025<\/p>\n<h3>Historical context: 2008\u2019s shadow returns<\/h3>\n<p>This year\u2019s price surge echoes unsettling parallels to 2008, when soybean prices peaking at $7.30 per pound preceded a global financial crisis. Analysts at Moody\u2019s warned the FAO\u2019s July figures \u201csignal a turning point,\u201d as prices now sit 7.6 percent above their year-ago levels and 43 percent higher than pandemic lows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFood inflation doesn\u2019t just impact dinner tables \u2014 it threatens political stability,\u201d said Dr. Sarah Brandt, a food security researcher at the Institute for Global Economic Studies. She highlighted that in 2008, wheat prices hitting $350 per metric ton (up from 180 in 2006) sparked riots in 30 countries. Today\u2019s crisis, if unchecked, could repeat such instability, she argued, citing Somalia and Yemen as current hotspots where hunger rates are spiking.<\/p>\n<h3>Supply chain vulnerabilities highlighted<\/h3>\n<p>Eagle-eyed observers note the report <a href=\"http:\/\/supplychainwarning.com\">underscores reliance on volatile export corridors<\/a>. Ukraine\u2019s ongoing sunflower oil supply cuts\u2014its Black Sea exports remain below pre-war levels\u2014continue to pressure prices. Meanwhile, Indonesia\u2019s palm oil policies signal a broader trend of food nationalism, as governments prioritize domestic supply control. \u201cFor national security, this means more than stockpiling,\u201d said Michael Lombari of the Heritage Foundation. \u201cIt\u2019s about incentivizing local production.\u201d &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The UN\u2019s findings are worrying for import-dependent nations, where food inflation historically triggers political unrest. Lebanon, for example, relies on wheat imports from Ukraine and Morocco; its inflation rate surged 141% in early 2025.<\/p>\n<p>World Bank data shows 34 low-income countries now face critical <a href=\"http:\/\/foodcollapse.com\">food supply shortages<\/a>, up from 22 last year. \u201cWhen prices were this high in 2022, 32 million people tipped into famine. We\u2019re headed there again,\u201d said a spokesperson for the UN World Food Program. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/2025-08-13-global-food-prices-surge-two-year-high.html\">https:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/2025-08-13-global-food-prices-surge-two-year-high.html<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yes, there is food price inflation affecting many around the world.<\/p>\n<p>There are also concerns in the USA.

Use of these services is higher among adults under age 45 compared with older adults.<\/p>\n<p>People experiencing economic stress are much more likely to use these services.<\/p>\n<p>Fifty-three percent of adults report that grocery expenses are a major source of stress, and another 33% say they are a minor stress. About half also identify housing costs as a major concern. Additionally, 43% express stress related to their personal income and savings. Health care costs are also a major source of stress for 4 in 10 adults .Fewer report major stress from debt or the cost of child care.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, 75% say one or more of these financial factors cause them major stress. These individuals with significant stressors in their life are more likely to use Buy Now Pay Later services than those who report minor or no stress. For example, 21% of people who experience any major stress have used Buy Now Pay Later services for medical or dental expenses, whereas 8% of those with minor or no stress.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>86 percent of people stressed over food was somewhat of a surprise to me. 74 percent stressed over housing was not a surprise. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brace for Higher Food Prices <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Council on Foreign Relations says <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfr.org\/article\/consumers-should-brace-themselves-higher-food-prices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\">Consumers Should Brace Themselves for Higher Food Prices<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Despite a rebound in gross domestic product (GDP) in the second quarter, U.S. growth in the first half of the year has clearly slowed. Meanwhile, the consumer price index (CPI) report in June registered a four-month high of 2.7 percent over the previous year. CFR Senior Fellow Rebecca Patterson foresees an increased likelihood of stagflation.<\/p>\n<p>A particularly sensitive part of the CPI is the food index, which increased 0.3 percent in June 2025 and is up 3 percent year over year. Although this is not a staggering increase, rising food prices are a long-term trend that slowly tightens families\u2019 weekly budgets. Many consumers are feeling anxious about prices at grocery stores and are already shifting their spending habits.<\/p>\n<p>Looming tariffs present a potential threat to this system and American produce distributors. Under current USCMA trade rules, about 63 percent of agricultural imports from Canada and Mexico into the United States are exempt from tariffs. Food imports not covered by USMCA could be subject to increased tariffs threatened by the Trump administration, depending on the outcome of continuing negotiations and court cases. When asked about the future of the USMCA, which is up for renegotiation in July 2026, President Donald Trump explained that the agreement was a \u201ctransitional deal,\u201d creating even greater uncertainty for American importers. <a href=\"https:\/\/mishtalk.com\/economics\/over-half-the-us-has-major-stress-over-the-price-of-food\/\">https:\/\/mishtalk.com\/economics\/over-half-the-us-has-major-stress-over-the-price-of-food\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>August 12, 2025<\/p>\n<p>Consumers pay more close attention to cumulative inflation, and prices are 24.3% more expensive today than they were before the coronavirus pandemic recession began in February 2020. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Many items currently exposed to tariffs \u2014 from coffee and tomatoes to toys, sporting equipment, household furnishings and apparel \u2014 continued to climb. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>According to BLS, these are the prices that increased most over the past year:<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-full overflow-x-auto\">\n<table class=\"wp-block-table Table Table--stripedOdd Table--spacing1 align-middle is-style-stripes wrapped\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Item<\/th>\n<th>July 2024-July 2025 increase<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Eggs<\/td>\n<td>16.4%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Roasted coffee<\/td>\n<td>14.8%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Instant coffee*<\/td>\n<td>14.3%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Utility (piped) gas service<\/td>\n<td>13.8%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>College textbooks*<\/td>\n<td>12.9%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Uncooked beef steaks<\/td>\n<td>12.4%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Audio equipment<\/td>\n<td>12.4%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Other condiments<\/td>\n<td>12.1%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Uncooked ground beef<\/td>\n<td>11.5%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Beef and veal<\/td>\n<td>11.3%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8230; According to BLS, these are the prices that increased most over the past month:<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-full overflow-x-auto\">\n<table class=\"wp-block-table Table Table--stripedOdd Table--spacing1 align-middle is-style-stripes wrapped\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Item<\/th>\n<th>June 2025-July 2025 increase<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Frozen noncarbonated juices and drinks*<\/td>\n<td>5.3%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Other motor fuels<\/td>\n<td>4.5%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cookies<\/td>\n<td>4.2%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Airline fares<\/td>\n<td>4%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Lettuce<\/td>\n<td>4%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ham, excluding canned<\/td>\n<td>3.9%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tax return preparation and other accounting fees<\/td>\n<td>3.5%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Infants\u2019 and toddler\u2019s apparel<\/td>\n<td>3.3%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tomatoes<\/td>\n<td>3.3%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8230; According to BLS, these are the top 10 items that have jumped the most in price since the pandemic:<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-full overflow-x-auto\">\n<table class=\"wp-block-table Table Table--stripedOdd Table--spacing1 align-middle is-style-stripes wrapped\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Item<\/th>\n<th>February 2020-July 2025 increase<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Eggs<\/td>\n<td>86.5%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Frozen noncarbonated juices and drinks*<\/td>\n<td>62.7%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Motor vehicle repair<\/td>\n<td>58.4%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Motor vehicle insurance<\/td>\n<td>56.6%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Margarine<\/td>\n<td>56.6%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Utility (piped) gas service<\/td>\n<td>54%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Uncooked beef roasts<\/td>\n<td>53.2%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Uncooked other beef and veal*<\/td>\n<td>52%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Uncooked beef steaks<\/td>\n<td>48%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Beef and veal<\/td>\n<td>47.8%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankrate.com\/banking\/federal-reserve\/latest-inflation-statistics\/#tracks-have-changed-over-time\">https:\/\/www.bankrate.com\/banking\/federal-reserve\/latest-inflation-statistics\/#tracks-have-changed-over-time<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While fish was not shown in the above report, when my wife and I went into a store to buy fish on Sunday, it appeared to me that fish prices have doubled or tripled over the past several years. So, yes, we are seeing food price inflation.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus warned:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Matthew 24:6-8)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Food price inflation is consistent with Jesus\u2019 words.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style4\">Notice that the ride of third horseman of the Apocalypse results in scarcity, inflation, and famine. Revelation 6:5-6 indicates that there will be food, but that it will be quite expensive (food-price inflation).<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"style4\">5 When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, \u201cCome and see.\u201d So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, \u201cA quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.\u201d (Revelation 6:5-6)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"style4\">Some will thus die as they will not be able to afford it, while others will survive but struggle. Notice that food oil is one of the items mentioned above&#8211;many around the world are being impacted by the rise in the cost of cooking oil.<\/p>\n<p>What about the Anglo-American nations? The old Worldwide Church of God published the following:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"style4\"><strong>The black horseman\u2019s future ride<\/strong> will reduce the proud faces of white America, Europe, and the British Common wealth into the blackened skin of starvation such as now afflicts the vast majority of mankind. (Alexander G. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Ambassador College Press, Pasadena (CA), 1973, p. 31)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Expect more food inflation. And yes, there will be famines as well.<\/p>\n<p>It is also wise to take physical steps:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>6 Go to the ant, you sluggard!<br \/>\nConsider her ways and be wise,<br \/>\n7 Which, having no captain,<br \/>\nOverseer or ruler,<br \/>\n8 Provides her supplies in the summer,<br \/>\nAnd gathers her food in the harvest.<br \/>\n9 How long will you slumber, O sluggard?<br \/>\nWhen will you rise from your sleep?<br \/>\n10 A little sleep, a little slumber,<br \/>\nA little folding of the hands to sleep &#8212;<br \/>\n11 So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler,<br \/>\nAnd your need like an armed man. (Proverbs 6:6-11).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Heritage Foundation, in the second news article in this post, mentioned nations should do more than stockpiling food, but also look at incentivizing local production.<\/p>\n<p>All who can afford it should have a week or two worth of food and water in case of emergencies and supply cutoffs. God&#8217;s statement about ants is intended to tell us to take proper physical steps.<\/p>\n<p>However, do not deceive yourself that if you have several years supply of food, you will thrive while others starve.<\/p>\n<p>Starving people will look for anything to eat&#8211;many will be willing to violently take food.
