Climate change is affecting wheat yields and the price of this crop.
As reported on foreign TV channels, Europe lacks raw materials for the production of pasta. Manufacturers around the world are also suffering.
The fact is that this summer around the world the weather was not favorable for growing wheat.
Europe suffered from heavy rains all summer. Both wind and heat caused problems.
Wheat is very sensitive to both dry and rainy weather.
Wheat this season was often infected with fungus and was more suitable for animal feed than for human consumption.
Of course, there is no need to say that pasta will disappear from store shelves, but prices for pasta will definitely increase.
As explained by Guido Jeremias, a representative of pasta factories from the Association of Grain, Flour and Starch Industries, the cost of a ton of wheat has already doubled. This cannot but affect the price of the finished product.
An increase in wheat prices has already been announced in Europe, the USA and even in Russia.
