Food Prices Soaring: Iran Conflict's Impact

Food prices soaring due to Iran conflict, threatening to escalate further. Blockage of Strait of Hormuz disrupts oil and fertilizer supply, causing price surges. US farmers and food industry face increased costs for diesel, refrigeration, and packaging. Experts predict 3-6% increase in food-at-home inflation over the next 12-18 months. Dairy sector may feel the impact first. Farmers with pre-purchased fertilizer and hedged diesel prices may be better off, but fuel surges could still squeeze margins. Grocery prices may not peak until 2027 if the conflict persists. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
