      <description><![CDATA[The US and Iran have agreed on a peace deal. What could this mean for food and beverage? Food prices are unlikely to fall straight away, due to long-term contracts taking a long time to filter through the supply chain.

The prices for plastics used for food packaging may fall more quickly than food as well. ]]></description>
