International organizations say the global agricultural product industry will face fundamental challenges in the next decade

Xinhua News Agency, Paris, June 29 (Reporter Liu Fang) Economic Cooperation and Development Organization (Economic Organization) and the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (Food and Agriculture Organization) jointly released the "2022-2031 Agricultural Outlook" report on the 29th that global agricultural products In the next ten years, the industry is facing fundamental challenges, and the impact of food supply interruptions caused by the growing population and the impact of climate crisis in a sustainable manner.

The report pointed out that multiple factors such as recovery after the epidemic demand, the rising supply of the country's bad weather, the rise in production and transportation costs have been promoted to rise in agricultural products. The rising rising exports of Ukraine and Russian agricultural products in the grains and Russian agricultural products have further deteriorated the situation.

Qu Dongyu, the director of the Food and Agriculture Organization, said that the rise in prices such as food, fertilizers and fuels and the tightening of financial conditions are making more people's lives in difficulty. If global food supply has deteriorated due to the decrease in production and major export countries, it is expected that the world's long -term malnutrition population will increase by more than 19 million in 2023.

The report predicts that in the next ten years, global food consumption will grow by 1.4%each year, and agricultural output will increase by 1.1%per year. The global average agricultural productivity needs to increase by 28%in order to achieve the sustainable development goals of zero hunger, but also ensure that agricultural emissions have achieved the goal of the Paris Agreement.

The report pointed out that increasing investment in technology, infrastructure and training to increase productivity is a key driving force for agricultural growth. If the price of agricultural input products such as energy and fertilizers has risen for a long time, production costs will be raised, and productivity will be restricted and increased in production in the next few years.

The report emphasizes that in the next ten years, the trade volume of major agricultural products and processing products in the world will grow simultaneously with output to ensure that the operation of the global trade market is very important for the short -term challenges of food security.
