Chapter 3895

Myanmar is in disaster!

Once the news came out, wall street around the world was boiling.

Myanmar is one of the main food producing countries in the world and the cheapest. Its fertile land and pleasant weather make the grain yield here extremely high. However, since the beginning of this year, Myanmar has experienced many floods. This has greatly reduced Myanmar's grain production and harvest expectations. This is one of the sources of this rise in food prices.

This time, Myanmar was hit by a once-in-a-hundred-year severe tropical storm. Across Myanmar, 77738 people died, 55917 were missing and 19359 were injured as a result of the severe tropical storm. The whole country is in mourning. The main grain producing areas suffered even more. Wheat, rice and corn, which were already about to mature, were all turned into debris under the "baptism" of the severe tropical storm. The farmland was in a mess. Farmers' houses were directly in ruins. Several cities were directly submerged by the flood. Millions of people were displaced. Tens of millions of people suffered from the disaster and their lives were inconvenient.

What is more terrible is that after the severe tropical storm, Myanmar has changed from a major grain exporter into a grain importer. There are too many victims in Myanmar. Originally, their granary was full of grain, but now their granary was destroyed by the strong tropical storm, and the grain was blown by the strong wind. I don't know where to go. Even if we are lucky not to be swept away by the severe tropical storm, we will be inundated by the flood caused by the severe tropical storm.

Myanmar has no food! Before, it was almost unimaginable. No one can imagine that there will be no food in Myanmar, which is too exaggerated and incredible. How can Myanmar not have food. But now, that's the reality, that's what Myanmar is now.

The Myanmar government issued a letter to the United Nations red letter 10 requesting emergency aid for 10 million tons of grain. With 60 million people in Myanmar, more than half of the population is affected by disasters, and nearly two-thirds of the population is facing food shortage. Myanmar, a big grain producing country, had to send a surprise distress signal to the United Nations.

Myanmar's food prices collapsed directly after the signal for help was sent. The futures price directly jumped short and opened 70% higher. Overnight, the international food price rose by nearly 100%. Moreover, with the aggravation of Myanmar's food shortage, the price will continue to rise.

Food prices are expected to at least double this year. The food crisis is coming!

Crazy. All the grain merchants are crazy. No one thought that this food crisis is really coming. Myanmar, a food producing country, will break out a food crisis. Now, those grain traders are going to make a lot of money. And those countries that are short of food are doomed. Can they afford such a high price of grain? You know, even the developed countries such as Canada and Australia are already suffering from the current food prices.

"Today, global food prices continue to rise, which 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 open up their grain supply to the outside world, put forward their domestic grain reserves, alleviate the food crisis and stabilize food prices! " Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper is worried.

Originally, the international grain price of corn was about 167 US dollars per ton, but now, corn has risen to 316 US dollars per ton. How can people bear the nearly double price increase. Originally you could buy a ton, now you can only buy half a ton. Moreover, this is the price in the near future. The domino effect caused by the disaster in Myanmar will make the price of corn rise to an unbearable level.

Stephen Harper is worried about uncontrollable food prices in the future. What is uncontrollable state? That is, the major grain producing countries are locked in the supply of grain for foreign trade because of each other's disaster. If so, the food crisis will come. Therefore, he and Australian Prime Minister Howard jointly held a news conference, calling on the international food producing countries not only to pay attention to the snow in front of their own home, but also to the frost on other people's tiles.

"I hope that such big grain exporting countries as Russia and Ukraine can liberalize grain supply, take out their own grain reserves and ensure the stability of international grain prices. Otherwise, this time, I'm afraid many victims will starve to death because they can't afford high price food. Now is the 21st century, is a civilized society, we can not helplessly watch the phenomenon of starvation. In particular, we can't just sit back and watch people's situation emerge! " Australian Prime Minister Howard said by name.

The leading role of the two developed countries naturally triggered the response of the major food shortage countries. They have called on the international community to take action to tide over the current difficulties. To prevent the food crisis from getting worse.

"Ha ha, opportunity, opportunity at last Hugh Grant, President of Monsanto, brightened his eyes with excitement.

Now he has finally waited for a serious disaster in a grain producing country. This is his chance. It's an opportunity for Monsanto, and it's also an opportunity for transgenesis. Of course, Monsanto is not in a hurry now. Before Monsanto moves, we need to make the price of food a little higher and more expensive. How expensive and how high? In Hugh Grant's view, the best and most expensive poor countries simply can't afford it.

Of course, people will starve to death. But how can the international community attach importance to it if some people do not starve to death! How can we detect the excellence of transgenic technology if the international community does not pay attention to it. Otherwise, how can transgenic technology enter the world. As for these people who died of starvation, what does their death have to do with Monsanto? If they want to blame them, they should blame them for having no money. If you want money, how can you starve to death?

"Remember, tell the grain traders that the price of the grain will go up again. Let them not rush to sell it. Now the grain is rare, so it's better to hold the grain in hand than cash in hand. Also, tell them that they don't have to worry about being blamed by the society. Now the biggest grain trader in the world is Lin Feng, who will bear the blame for all grain traders. So you don't have to worry, just go and fry up the grain price, and let the grain fly directly to the sky! " Hugh Grant's vulture like eyes were ferocious.

At this time, the international community naturally did not know that there were behind the scenes behind this incident. Now the most important issue for the international community is not to stabilize international food prices, but to provide disaster relief. Myanmar is one of the major grain producing countries in the world. If Myanmar is not stable, the grain price will be higher next year, not to mention this year. Therefore, disaster relief must be carried out first. It's just that Myanmar has 10 million tons of grain, which is really acceptable. Many countries are hesitating. Now food is scarce. It's better to give money than food. Myanmar, however, does not want money, just food!

What should I do? Who will save Myanmar?
