Rebirth of the Evil Life
Chapter 4145 Let’s fly
Myanmar is in disaster!
As soon as the news came out, Wall Street around the world was in a frenzy.
Myanmar is one of the world's major grain-producing countries and the cheapest grain-producing country. Its fertile land and pleasant weather make the food production here exceptionally high. But this year, Myanmar has experienced repeated floods. This has greatly reduced Myanmar’s grain harvest expectations. This is one of the sources of the current increase in food prices.
This time, Myanmar was hit by a once-in-a-century severe tropical storm. Across Myanmar, 77,738 people died due to the severe tropical storm, 55,917 were missing, and 19,359 were injured. The whole country is in mourning. The main grain-producing areas suffered even more heavy losses. The wheat, rice ears, and corn that were about to mature were all reduced to debris by the strong tropical storm. The farmland was in a mess, farmers' houses were directly turned into ruins, several cities were directly flooded, and hundreds of people were injured. Tens of thousands of people were displaced, and tens of millions of people were affected by the disaster and their lives were inconvenient.
What is even more frightening is that after this severe tropical storm, Myanmar changed from a major food exporter to a food importer. There is no way, there are too many victims in Myanmar. Their granaries were originally full of food, but now their granaries have been destroyed by strong tropical storms, and the food has been blown away by strong winds. Even if they were lucky enough not to be blown away by the strong tropical storm, they would still be submerged by the floods caused by the strong tropical storm.
There is no food in Myanmar! This was almost unimaginable before. No one could have imagined that Myanmar would be without food. This is too exaggerated and unbelievable. How can there be no food in Myanmar? But now, this is the reality, this is the situation in Myanmar today.
The Myanmar government issued a request for emergency assistance of 10 million tons of food to the United Nations Red Cross. There are 60 million people in Myanmar. Now more than half of the population has been hit by disasters, and nearly two-thirds of the population faces food shortages. Myanmar, a major grain-producing country, had to surprisingly send a distress signal to the United Nations.
After Myanmar's distress signal for food shortages was issued, national food prices collapsed directly. The futures price directly jumped 70% higher. Overnight, international food prices rose by almost 100%, and as Myanmar's food shortage intensifies, these prices will continue to rise.
It is expected that food prices will at least double this year. The food crisis is coming!
Crazy, all merchants related to food are crazy. No one thought that this food crisis was really coming. Myanmar, a food-producing country, is experiencing a food crisis. Now, those grain traders are going to make a fortune. And those countries that are short of food are doomed. When food prices have risen so high, can they afford it? You know, even developed countries such as Canada and Australia are already feeling a little pain from today's food prices.
"Today, global food prices continue to rise. This is a disaster for all countries that do not produce food and rely on food imports.
I hope that the major grain-producing countries can liberalize their external grain supply, use their domestic grain reserves to alleviate the food crisis caused by this time, and stabilize food prices! Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper called with concern.
The original international grain price was about US$167 per ton of corn. Now, corn prices have skyrocketed to US$316 per ton. This nearly doubled price increase is unbearable. Originally you could buy a ton for the price, but now you can only buy half a ton. Moreover, this is the recent price. The domino effect caused by the disaster in Myanmar will cause the price of corn to rise to an unbearable level.
Stephen Harper is worried that food prices will be uncontrollable in the future. What is an uncontrollable state? That is, the major grain-producing countries have tightened their foreign trade supply because of each other's disasters. if that. The food crisis is really coming. Therefore, he and Australian Prime Minister Howard jointly held a press conference, calling on international grain-producing countries not to just pay attention to the snow in front of their own homes and ignore the frost on other people's tiles.
"I hope that major grain exporting countries such as Russia and Ukraine can liberalize their grain supply and use their own grain reserves to ensure the stability of international grain prices. Otherwise, this time, I am afraid there will be many victims who cannot afford the high prices. We are starving to death for food. This is the 21st century and we are a civilized society. We cannot just watch people starve to death,” said Australian Prime Minister Howard.
The two developed countries took the lead, which naturally triggered responses from major food-scarce countries. They have called on the international community to take action to jointly overcome the current difficulties. Prevent the food crisis from getting worse.
"Haha, opportunity, opportunity has finally come!" Monsanto CEO Hugh Grant's eyes shone with excitement.
Now he finally waited for severe disaster weather to occur in a grain-producing country. This was his opportunity. It is an opportunity for Monsanto, and it is also an opportunity for genetically modified animals. Of course, Monsanto is not in a hurry now. Before Monsanto takes action, the price of food needs to be higher and more expensive. How expensive and high will it be? In Hugh Grant's view, the most expensive ones are simply not affordable for poor countries, so that's fine.
Of course, this will inevitably cause starvation. But if some people don't starve to death, how can it be taken seriously by the international community! If the international community doesn't pay attention, how can it realize the excellence of genetically modified technology. Otherwise, how can genetically modified technology enter all parts of the world. As for those who starved to death, what does their death have to do with Monsanto? If they want to blame someone, they should blame them for not having money. If you had money, how could you starve to death?
"Remember, tell those grain traders that the price of grain will rise again, and tell them not to rush to sell. Now grain is scarce and expensive. Holding grain in hand is definitely better than holding cash in hand. Also, tell them not to worry about being blamed by society. Now the world's largest grain trader is Lin Feng, and he will bear this sin for all grain traders. So don't worry, just go ahead and drive up the grain price and let the grain fly directly to the sky!" Hugh Grant's vulture-like eyes shot out a ferocious look.
At this time, the international community naturally didn't know that there was a black hand behind this matter. The most important issue for the international community now is not to stabilize international grain prices, but disaster relief. Myanmar is one of the world's major grain producers. If Myanmar becomes unstable, not to mention the high grain prices this year, the grain prices will be even higher next year. Therefore, disaster relief must be done first. However, Myanmar's opening offer is 10 million tons of grain, which is a little unacceptable. Many countries are hesitant. Now grain is a scarce commodity, and giving money is better than giving grain. But Myanmar does not want money, but only grain!
What to do? Who will save Myanmar? (To be continued...)
