The 警告 comes on the heels of 人物／姿／数字s yesterday showing that the cost of basic 商品／必需品s used by UK 製造業者s - such as cotton and wheat - is now rising at a pace not seen for at least two １０年間s.

The 借り切る／憲章d 学校／設ける of 購入（する）ing and 供給（する） 明らかにする／漏らすd that input price インフレーション - the costs 伴う／関わるd in producing finished goods, 含むing energy and raw 構成要素s - in December 発射 to the highest level since its 製造業の 調査する began in 1992.

The UN's data will 追加する to 恐れるs の中で 分析家s and 消費者s in the UK that インフレーション is about to run out of 支配（する）／統制する and 軍隊 the Bank of England into an 利益／興味 率 rise - just at a time when most British 世帯s and 商売／仕事 can ill afford it.

The Bank's 通貨の 政策 委員会 stands （刑事）被告 in some ４半期/4分の1s of 許すing inflationary 圧力s to build up in the economy.

Many 経済学者s 予報する that UK インフレーション will 粉砕する through 4% this spring - twice the Bank's 的 level - after hitting a six-month high of 3.3% in November.

Prices of 穀物s 殺到するd in 2010, with wheat ブイ，浮標d by a 一連の 天候 events 含むing 干ばつ in Russia and its 黒人／ボイコット Sea 隣人s. European wheat prices 二塁打d, US corn rose more than 50% while US soybeans jumped 34%.

Low 在庫／株s of 穀物s such as corn mean that more 天候-関係のある 損失 to 刈るs could be 批判的な for markets. 中国 in particular has a 抱擁する appetite for corn and is keen to 安全な・保証する 適する 在庫／株s of the 穀物.
