EuropeTags : Prix agricoles Banques Union européenne Accaparement des terres Spéculation alimentaires Résumé : With global financial markets in turmoil, agricultural commodity ‘futures’ have become increasingly attractive to financial investors and speculators. Billions of euros and dollars are flooding in and out of commodity markets, causing sudden price spikes in world food commodity markets, leading to higher prices for consumers. While high food prices hit the most vulnerable the hardest, threatening their right to food, the rapid price swings also affect poor farmers, threatening farm viability and making it more difficult for farmers to maintain a predictable income. The huge growth in financial speculation has led to prices no longer being solely driven by supply and demand, but also increasingly by the actions of financial speculators and the performance of their investments. Excessive speculation has forced food prices to rise in recent years and has increased the frequency and scale of price volatility. Rising food prices and high volatility have in turn contributed to rising living costs for Northern consumers, and led to more hunger and poverty across the world. Poor households, forced to spend more money on food, are less able to afford other essentials such as healthcare and education. In 2008, the world saw a major food crisis as prices skyrocketed for crops such as rice, wheat and corn. Food riots erupted in 25 countries and more than 100 million more people were officially classed as undernourished or starving. After a price correction in 2009, food prices again reached record heights in June 20111.

Titre : Food Markets in Dutch : Dutch Banks and Pension Funds in Agricultural Derivatives Markets Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Rens van Tilburg, Auteur Editeur : Amsterdam [Nederland] : SOMO Année de publication : December 2011 Importance : 44 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Spéculation Tags : Spéculation Banques Marché alimentaire Politique financière Europe Pays-Bas ING bank Rabobank ABN Amro PGGM APG MN Services Fonds de pension Résumé : The effect on prices of increased financial investments in commodity derivatives markets especially those for staple foodshas been the subject of fierce debate since 2008. In order to make an informed dialogue possible between Dutch financial institutions and civil society organisations this report aims to provide a better understanding of the activities of large Dutch financial institutions in the (agricultural) commodity derivatives markets.
SOMO has examined the activities in agricultural derivatives markets of the three largest Dutch banks and three largest pension funds, covering almost 90% of the Dutch banking sector and approximately 60% of all pension savings. It turns out that all albeit to varying degrees are active in the commodity derivatives markets, including those for staple foods.
SOMO concludes that financial institutions should either refrain from investing in staple food derivatives, as it is a potential threat to humans right to affordable food to which they all subscribe. They should also provide more transparency about their activities and a clear argumentation in which they explicitly address the studies that find financial investments distort the world food market. Only in this way is a well-informed dialogue possible about this highly complex and important matter.En ligne : http://somo.nl/publications-en/Publication_3729/view?set_language=en&utm_source= [...] Food Markets in Dutch : Dutch Banks and Pension Funds in Agricultural Derivatives Markets [document électronique] / Rens van Tilburg, Auteur . - Amsterdam (Sarphatistraat 30, 1018 GL, Nederland) : SOMO, December 2011 . - 44 p.
