Abstract

The present study investigates how grain prices have been affecting food inflation in the wake of the recent pandemic and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. This study examines the effects on inflation of the limitations on exports of wheat, barley and corn products by Russia and Ukraine on the food inflation in Asia and North Africa by using cointegration test. Drawing upon monthly data from the 2000:01–2020:08 period, the study reveals that the food price index and grain prices in both Asia and North Africa are cointegrated in the long term, and that in both country groups wheat price increases in particular are triggering an increase in food prices.

Abstract

Bu çalışmada son dönemde yaşanan Pandemi ve Rusya-Ukrayna çatışması odağında hububat fiyatlarının gıda enflasyonunu nasıl etkilediği araştırılmıştır. Bu amaçla Rusya ve Ukrayna’nın en fazla ihraç ettiği buğday, arpa ve mısır ürünlerinin Asya ve Kuzey Afrika ülkelerinin gıda enflasyonu üzerindeki etkileri eşbütünleşme testi ile incelenmiştir. Çalışmada 2000:01-2020:08 dönemi aylık veriler kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, hem Asya hem de Afrika ülkelerinin gıda fiyat endeksi ile hububat fiyatları uzun dönemde eşbütünleşik çıkmışlardır. Özellikle buğday fiyat artışları her iki ülke grubunda da gıda fiyat artışını yukarı yönlü tetiklemektedir.
