-- 惠譽評級在近期發布的報告中指出,隨著美伊戰爭持續蔓延,化肥供應在即將到來的播種季進一步緊張,不斷上漲的食品成本壓力可能會給亞洲新興市場帶來沉重負擔。 惠譽表示,化肥供應有限和價格壓力將推高生產成本,降低施肥量,並抑製作物產量,進而影響今年的利潤率和食品價格。 惠譽指出,海灣地區供應全球大部分化肥,尤其是在天然氣作為關鍵原料的情況下。 該評級機構也預計,包括中國在內的亞洲主要化肥出口國將進一步限制化肥出口,至少持續到年中。 惠譽表示,氮肥尿素價格已上漲50%,從戰前每噸約465美元漲至約700美元。 該評級機構表示,由此導致的化肥使用量或種植面積的減少可能會加劇下半年作物產量下降和食品價格上漲的風險。 惠譽表示,鑑於該地區新興國家對國內生產的依賴程度,化肥供應減少將在種植面積受限或產量下降的情況下產生重大影響。 惠譽指出,對於馬爾地夫、蒙古、菲律賓、孟加拉和斯里蘭卡等更依賴進口食品的國家而言,國內收成下降、全球食品價格上漲以及出口限制將造成更不利的局面。 惠譽引述世界糧食計畫署的數據稱,2026年中期以後持續的衝突和高油價可能導致亞洲新增910萬人陷入嚴重的糧食不安全狀況,比戰前增加24%。
