市場の動向:中東紛争のさなか、東南アジアの米農家はコスト高騰の矢面に立たされている

By

-- 日経アジアレビューが水曜日に報じたところによると、南アジアと東南アジアの米農家は、作付けシーズンを前に肥料価格の高騰によりコスト圧力が強まっており、地域全体の食糧供給への懸念が高まっている。 中東の地政学的不安定化を背景に、尿素価格は3月に54%急騰した後、4月には18%上昇した。世界銀行によると、基準となる尿素価格は4月に1トン当たり857ドルに達し、前年同月比で2倍以上となり、3月の4年ぶりの高値を上回ったという。 これは、ホルムズ海峡の閉鎖によりカタールとサウジアラビアからの輸出が阻害されたことを受けてのことだ。同報告書によると、この2カ国は世界の供給量の約3分の1を占めている。 投入コストの上昇により、農家は肥料の使用量を削減せざるを得ず、稲作シーズンが始まる中で収穫量の減少リスクが高まっている。アジアは湾岸諸国からの供給に大きく依存しているため、供給途絶が長期化すれば供給不足を引き起こす可能性があり、エネルギーコストと輸送コストの上昇により、生産コスト全体が最大80%上昇する可能性があると日経新聞は報じた。 (マーケットチャッターニュースは、世界中の市場関係者との会話に基づいています。この情報は信頼できる情報源に基づいていると考えられますが、噂や憶測が含まれる場合もあります。正確性は保証されません。)
