The lack of labor stop exporting to the world or having a lot of food

UN Food and Agricultural Organization Chief Economist Maximo Torero warned that although the harvest period of staple food crops is optimistic, the blockade policy of various countries will make the farm lack of workers, plus countries in response to the epidemic, or lead to global grain shortage.Essence

Torrero pointed out in an interview with the Guardian that the worst situation is that governments of various countries have begun to set up restrictions or trade barriers to restrict grain flow.Affected by the epidemic, some countries have implemented export restrictions. For example, Kazakhstan, a major wheat flour exporter, announced the ban on the export of wheat powder, and also restricted vegetables such as onions and carrots and buckwheat exports; Vietnam, the third largest rice exporter in the world, also plans to suspend export rice.

Lack of 200,000 farmers' law to hire unemployed workers

Most countries have good food supply, but Torrero's concerns may emerge within a few weeks, and will worsen the season in the next two months.This kind of crops have a short maturity period and are easy to rot. They need to be picked by cooked handicraft workers as soon as possible. However, epidemic prevention measures restrict people's flow and affect labor and logistics.France has a three -thirds of each year and two seasons as foreigners. However, the current border control makes the farm difficult to recruit foreign workers. It is expected that this harvest period will face 200,000 migrant workers' shortage, increasing the possibility of rotten crops such as schola and asparagus.Agricultural Minister Didier Guillaume appealed on Tuesday to join the French Agricultural Army under the epidemic.The United Kingdom also estimates that the shortage of workers this year may reach 80,000, and agricultural organizations urge the government to provide subsidies to help recruit workers.

Toriro also pointed out that countries such as Britain and other currencies have depreciated and have higher imports, or they are facing rising food prices.He urged governments to take action to maintain food supply chain operations, ensure enough workers and prevent the global food market from panic, and citizens should avoid panic shopping or hoarding food and reduce waste.
