Germany's Drought Threatens Food Supply | Europe News
Description
Germany’s farmers are reeling from a brutal drought that’s slashed grain and rapeseed yields, threatening food security and potentially driving up prices for meat, dairy, and imported oils. While the government downplays immediate inflation fears, global supply chain disruptions, war-related shortages, and rising fertilizer costs have already pushed food prices up 36% since 2020. Farmers are pleading for emergency aid — including fertilizer subsidies and diesel tax breaks — as they face mounting debts and dwindling feed stocks, with official relief decisions pending until August.
