Wheat Crop Failures Could be Total, Experts Warn MoneyNews.com April
24, 2008
On top of record-breaking rice prices and corn through
the roof on ethanol demand, wheat is now rusting in the fields across
Africa. Officials fear near total crop losses, and the fungus, known as
Ug99, is spreading. Wheat prices have been soaring this week on top of
already high prices, and futures contracts spiked, too, on panic buying.
Experts fear the cost of bread could soon follow the path of rice, the
price of which has triggered riots in some countries and prompted countries
to cut off exports. David Kotok, chairman and chief investment officer
of Cumberland Advisors, said the deadly fungus, Puccinia graminis, is
now spreading through some areas of the globe where "crop losses are expected
to reach 100 percent. Losses in Africa are already at 70 percent of the
crop,
Kotok said. "The economic losses expected from this
fungus are now in the many billions and growing. Worse, there is an intensifying
fear of exacerbated food shortages in poor and emerging countries of the
world, Kotok told investors in a research note. "The ramifications are
serious. Food rioting continues to expand around the world. We saw the
most recent in Johannesburg. "So far this unrest has been directed at
rising prices. Actual shortages are still to come. Last month, scientists
met in the Middle East to determine measures to track the progress of
"Ug99, which was first discovered in 1999 in Uganda.
The fungus has spread from its initial outbreak site
in Africa to Asia, including Iran and Pakistan. Spores of the fungus spread
with the winds, according science journal reports. According to the Food
and Agriculture Office (FAO) of the United Nations, approximately a quarter
of the worlds global wheat harvest is currently threatened by the fungus.
Meanwhile, global wheat stocks are at lows not seen in half a century,
according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Scientists fear that
the spores could spread on the wind and reach the U.S. and Canada or Europe.
"It will take five to eight years to genetically engineer a resistance,
said Kotok. "In the interim, U.S. agriculture faces higher risk. Kotok
is worried that governments around the globe are reacting to the crisis
which he believes is as big of a threat as bird flu inappropriately
by artificially lowering the prices of domestic wheat, and raising export
taxes on wheat. William Gamble, president of Emerging Market Strategies,
tells MoneyNews that artificial mechanisms put in place by governments
could be as much to blame for the crisis as anything. "Twenty countries
have put food in price controls or export restrictions,fttp://moneynews.com
