Mario Pagliaro, a researcher in climatology and chemistry, has forecasted an increase in product prices, with his predictions aligning with recent trends. The article discusses the significant price hikes in key agricultural products such as wheat, corn, and soybeans in 2020, attributed to various factors including reduced trade, hoarding, speculation, and the effects of climate change.

Pagliaro anticipates further price increases, which could have significant societal and economic implications, especially in agricultural countries that have been outside the deflation trend for the past 50 years.
