 note = {Short-run reasons of the world food crisis including US bio-ethanol policy are 
1) Unprecedented inflow of parts of world speculative capital ($200 trillion) into small commodity futures markets such as, wheat ($1300 billion), maize ($2800 billion), soybean ($1400 billion),crude oil ($8100 billion), gold ($2300 billion), copper ($3200 billion). This inflow was caused by the US originated world financial crisis started in 2007. Quadrupling wheat open interest contract on the CBT had occured from 2002 to 2008.
2) Policy-led fast increase of US bio-ethanol production accelerated sharp rise of world maize price. Sharp rise in bio-ethanol demand had occurred in the USA. US accounts for about onethird of the global maize production and two-thirds of global export. The share of US maize used for bio-ethanol production was 11% in 2004. It increased to 23% in 2007, to 34% in 2008,and it will be 46% in 2014 as energy acts of the United States plans.
3) Restrictions of cereal exports by many large cereal exporters.
4) Decline in the dollar value. The following two reasons have been mentioned in the literature. 
(1) Sharp rise in the cerealsimports by China and India. 
(2) Crop failures caused by weather in the major cereal exporters.But these were not found to be the reasons of the 2008 world food crisis.},
