Why does this matter? Droughts can have serious health, social, economic and political impacts with far-reaching consequences. Water is one of the most essential commodities for human survival, and when there isn’t enough water to support food crops, well….that spells Trouble. When a drought undermines food sources, it is a question of Supply vs. Demand. There is less food to go around and higher prices are passed along to the consumer. A drought directly affects grass and grain used to feed livestock and poultry. Currently, 59 percent of pastures and rangelands are in poor or very poor condition; 51 % of corn crops are reported to be in poor or very poor condition across the 18 primary corn-producing states. The availability, and price, of DDGs, a co-product of ethanol production widely-used in swine diets, is severely affected as reported by Pork Network: (http://www.porknetwork.com/pork-news/Ethanol-plant-closures-cause-DDGS-supply-issues-166035306.html) Likewise, the table egg market has been negatively impacted. The price of large shell eggs hit an all-time high the week of July 30th. Additionally, Food Navigator.com reported: “USDA Predicts Strong Food Price Inflation as Drought Continues.” The commodity market of eggs and milk (including fresh, dried and milk by-products) has escalated by double digits in a very short time. As a result the bowl cost for the commercial baker will see a substantial increase. http://www.foodnavigator-usa.com/Markets/USDA-predicts-strong-food-price-inflation-as-drought-continues If you are sourcing alternative ingredients, please call Fornazor International. We offer a variety of egg replacers and milk replacers to help keep costs down or minimize the increases.
