Rising energy costs are having a marked effect on food prices, particularly by increasing the cost of inputs like nitrogen fertilisers, for which the cost has risen 350 percent since 1999, and through increased transport costs.
Suurenevatel energiakuludel on mõju toiduainete hindadele, eelkõige kuna need kergitavad selliste komponentide hinda nagu lämmastikväetised, mille kulud on tõusnud alates 1999. aastast 350 protsenti, ning kuna on suurenenud transpordikulud.
