The adverse effects of drought in the United States on world food trade? Sophomore geography
The United States is the world's largest exporter of agricultural products, accounting for one-third of the world's grain export trade. The drought in the United States will push up the price of grain futures and make global food prices rise. Many countries import food from the United States as feed, which also makes the global price of meat, poultry and eggs rise. For developing countries with low food self-sufficiency, rising food prices and increasing food expenditure of the poor will lead to inflation, which may seriously lead to political turmoil (as happened in Egypt).
