Text A
Is the world headed for a food crisis? India, Mexico and Yemen have seen food riots this year.
What’s the cause for these shortages and price hikes? Expensive oil, for the most part. The United Nations food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported that, at nearly $100 a barrel,the price of oil has sent the cost of food imports skyrocketing this year. Add in escalating crop prices, the FAO warned, and a direct consequence could soon be an increase in global hunger —and, as a consequence, increased social unrest. What’s more, worldwide food reserves are at their lowest in 35 years, so prices are likely to stay high for the foreseeable future.
On the demand side, one of the key issues is biofuels. Biofuels, made from food crops such as corn, sugar cane, and palm oil, are seen as easing the world’s dependence on gasoline or diesel.
But when crude oil is expensive, as it is now, these alternative energy sources can also be sold at market-competitive prices, rising steeply in relation to petroleum. With one-quarter of the US corn harvest in 2010 diverted towards biofuel production, the attendant rise in cereal prices has already had an impact on the cost and availability of food. Critics worry that the gold rush toward biofuels is taking away food from the hungry. Leaders in the biofuel industry respond that energy costs are more to blame for high food prices than biofuels. “Energy is the blood of the world, so if oil goes up then other commodities follow,” Cla
us Sauter, CEO of German bioenergy firms Verbio said. Others argue that cleaner-burning biofuels could help stem the effects of climate change,
another factor identified by the FAO as causing food shortages. Analysts note that scientists believe climate change could be behind recent extreme weather patterns, including catastrophic floods, heat waves and drought. All can diminish food harvests and stockpiles. But so can market forces.

中美航空运输市场开放,距离真正意义上的双方机会均等、互利共赢。还有一段距离。扩大中美航空运输市场开放力度,将对中国航空企业带来新的压力。在中夹航空客运市场上,受市场需求、运力投放、运营管理等因素影响,中国航空企业一直处于劣势,整体上一直处于亏损状态,而美国航空企业则一直回报丰厚。中国航空货运企业发展刚刚起步,而国运业务是美国航空业目前发展最快的业务。美国方面对新航权的强劲需求和中国的相对过剩形成对比,开放领域加大,势必使这种差距也随之加大。
航空市场开放力度加大,并非绝对利空。目前,虽然中美航线整体竞争力不强,但部分大型航空公司可以提前布局,以当前的亏损换取未来的繁荣。此外,开放力度的加大,会进一步促进中国民航业的改革,加速行业的整合,加快各运营公司改善自身状况,有利于整个行业的良性发展。
