Iran War Threatens Asia’s Food Supply > 공지사항

• 목록

The ongoing U.S.-Israeli war against Iran is devastating Asia’s agricultural sector, with ripple effects on global food security. Farmers in Thailand, like Saithong Jamjai, face soaring costs for fuel, fertilizer, and plastics, making planting financially impossible. For example, producing rice would cost her $33,000 but yield only $22,000 in sales. Many farmers are halting cultivation, leading to fears of reduced harvests and long-term damage to food supply chains. As planting seasons approach, irreversible cuts in production could worsen global shortages, highlighting how distant conflicts are destabilizing livelihoods and threatening food access far beyond the Middle East.
