-- 惠誉评级在近期发布的一份报告中指出,随着美伊战争持续蔓延,化肥供应在即将到来的播种季进一步紧张,不断上涨的食品成本压力可能会给亚洲新兴市场带来沉重负担。 惠誉表示,化肥供应有限和价格压力将推高生产成本,降低施肥量,并抑制作物产量,从而影响今年的利润率和食品价格。 惠誉指出,海湾地区供应着全球大部分化肥,尤其是在天然气作为关键原料的情况下。 该评级机构还预计,包括中国在内的亚洲主要化肥出口国将进一步限制化肥出口,至少持续到年中。 惠誉表示,氮肥尿素价格已上涨50%,从战前每吨约465美元涨至约700美元。 该评级机构表示,由此导致的化肥使用量或种植面积的减少可能会加剧下半年作物产量下降和食品价格上涨的风险。 惠誉表示,鉴于该地区新兴国家对国内生产的依赖程度,化肥供应减少将在种植面积受限或产量下降的情况下产生重大影响。 惠誉指出,对于马尔代夫、蒙古、菲律宾、孟加拉国和斯里兰卡等更加依赖进口食品的国家而言,国内收成下降、全球食品价格上涨以及出口限制将造成更加不利的局面。 惠誉援引世界粮食计划署的数据称,2026年中期以后持续的冲突和高油价可能导致亚洲新增910万人陷入严重的粮食不安全状况,比战前增加24%。
