     Feb. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Food prices may rise because a lack ofcredit for farmers curbed their ability to buy seeds andfertilizers and may limit production, Nestle SA Chairman [url=http://search.bloomberg.com/search?q=Peter%0ABrabeck-Letmathe&site=wnews&client=wnews&proxystylesheet=wnews&output=xml_no_dtd&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&filter=p&getfields=wnnis&sort=date:S:d1]PeterBrabeck-Letmathe[/url] said.

       “Many farmers over the world didn’t have access in October,November, December for credits,” the chairman of the world’sbiggest food company said in an interview at the World EconomicForum in Davos, Switzerland, on Jan. 31. “They were limited inacquiring seed and acquiring fertilizer.”

       Demand for cereals to use as animal feed is rising about 5.4percent a year, while demand for cereals for people is increasing1.3 percent to 1.5 percent, according to Brabeck.     
       “It is probable that in 2009 we have a decline inproduction and we will have an increase in demand,” the chairmansaid. “This will have another push on raw materials.”
