The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has reported that global food prices have begun to rise due to the ongoing conflict involving Iran, the United States, and Israel. According to FAO’s monthly Food Price Index, which tracks international food commodity prices, global food costs increased by 2.4 percent between February and March. This marks the second consecutive month of price growth.
FAO attributed the increase mainly to the Middle East conflict, which has driven up fuel prices and, in turn, raised production and transportation costs for food products. The organization noted that continued instability around the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s key oil supply routes, could further worsen conditions for food-importing nations.
The report suggests that if tensions persist, the global food market may face additional pressure in the coming months, particularly affecting countries dependent on imports for essential commodities.
