CAIRO - Egypt is scrambling to find alternate sources of wheat after the Russian invasion of Ukraine has put supply to the country in jeopardy. This is especially urgent because the price of bread in Egypt has in the past sparked protests in the country.

We must purchase and stockpile wheat as quickly as possible before the Ukraine-Russia war breaks out, “Sawiris Tweeted.

Mainstream media now telling you: get ready for FOOD RATIONING.

And they are blaming Putin for the world food crisis. But you and I know better. Today's video report forthcoming.

Rabobank says we must contend with intense La Niña weather patterns and drought in Brazil and Argentina. “Grain shortfalls are likely to be so pronounced as to require demand destruction, or rationing,” it said.

“Unlike the West, China is prepared. It has been stocking up for months and holds 84 per cent of the world’s copper, 70 per cent of its corn and 51 per cent of its wheat. “China has bought enormous quantities of US soy in recent weeks,” said Rabobank. One might ask if Xi Jinping knew something in advance.”

China ag minister says winter wheat condition could be worst in history

The condition of China's winter wheat crop could be the "worst in history", the agriculture minister said on Saturday, raising concerns about grain supplies in the world's biggest wheat consumer.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the country's annual parliament meeting, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Tang Renjian said that rare heavy rainfall last year delayed the planting of about one-third of the normal wheat acreage.

Ukraine is about 3 weeks out from planting this season’s crop — and seeds are not showing up. Forget the early analyses about “25% hit to yield” - this is devolving to a completely catastrophic blow to food production. In the area that supplied 40% of worlds grain.

Food Rationing: Aldi has begun limiting purchases of cooking oil in German stores.

This follows palm oil and other oilseeds hitting record highs, and now the cut off from Ukraine’s sunflower oil.

How long until we hear policymakers/media calling for digital IDs to enforce the rationing? Nevermind the vx passport, now a food passport. Digital rationing.

Translated from link below:
Aldi Süd even limited the sale of its own brand to four bottles per customer in response to the cooking oil shortages .”

Russia responds to Biden, blocks ALL exports to certain countries. Massive impact to food supply confirmed.

Within hours of Joe Biden announcing a far-reaching ban on all US imports of Russian oil - while warning Americans that gas prices are about to "go up further" - Vladimir Putin is reported to have signed his own counter-measure decree.

Russia's RIA news agency is reporting that the new decree blocks all exports and raw materials from Russia "of certain materials" - with state media reports noting the specific list will be made public in two days.

Rumors that BASF’s Ludwigshafen plant will shutdown due to energy crisis. The plant provides vitamins used for animal feed -- its closure would paralyze animal feed producers.

Between this and the grains shortage, animal feed is in trouble. And the WEF may soon have their “post-animal economy.”

Italy: truck drivers declare force majeur due to EU gas prices -- deliveries stop MONDAY (and 84% of goods are delivered by road)

The sanctions are working … Europe is circling the drain. They haven't even bothered to eliminate VAT. Controlled demolition.
___

Starting from next Monday, March 14, the trucking companies will suspend their services nationwide 'due to force majeure' "and that is the explosion of fuel costs.

"The suspension of services has become inevitable - underlines a letter sent by Trasportiunito to the Prime Minister, the Minister and Deputy Minister of Sustainable Infrastructures and Mobility and the President of the Guarantee Commission in Strikes - also to protect companies and prevent that the exasperated market conditions, determined by the record rise in fuel prices, translate into advantages for other subjects in the transport sector, or into charges for contractual obligations that the companies in the logistics chain are no longer able to guarantee ".

The protests in the transport sector called by some trade organizations could immediately lead to a further serious surge in retail prices. Codacons denounces it, commenting on the stop to transport services announced today by Trasportiunito. "The road transport block will have direct effects on the community, suspending the supplies of goods in the commercial sector and leading to a surge in retail price lists in shops and supermarkets - says the president Carlo Rienzi - An inevitable consequence, considering that the 85% of goods sold in Italy travel by road, and a further damage for consumers, exhausted like companies by expensive fuel ". "In this situation, a shameful immobility arrives from the Government, and it is not clear what awaits the executive to immediately cancel the VAT on petrol and diesel and reduce excise duties…

Netherlands: Transport ban due to bird flu affects many poultry farmers

Bird flu was diagnosed yesterday at a poultry farm near Lunteren. Because there are many poultry farms in the region, a transport ban for poultry has been announced for a large area. As a result, at least 228 companies are affected, according to the Ministry of Agriculture.

There are another 46 other poultry farmers within a radius of 3 kilometers from the infected company. Samples are taken from them to determine whether animals are infected. [IAF: note they are using the PCR test!]

UK: The National Farmers’ Union has warned of a huge drop in UK-grown crops, including a drop of up to 50% in the amount they can afford to grow due to explosion of prices of gas used to heat glasshouses.

producers are saying the number of cucumbers that will be grown annually could fall from 80m to 35m, while pepper production could halve from 100m. She also added that inflation was leading to dramatic rises in other areas, citing the example of the cost of raising a chicken increasing by 50% in a year for farmers.
