The Bread and Cereal Products market has been relatively stable for a long time but has recently become more volatile. This change can be attributed to supply chain disruptions and reduced harvesting in some major production areas. Furthermore, unforeseen events have also impacted the market, e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war, given that Russia and the Ukraine are key producers of wheat, barley, oats, as well as other related products. Additionally, the increase in importation and demand from China has also affected the market. As a result of these influencing factors, cereal prices have seen a significant increase.
