Letter Re: The Food Shortages Are Real--Will There Be Panic Buying Soon?
James,
I've read the recent article in the New York Sun (Food
Rationing Confronts Breadbasket of the World) regarding the [informal]
food rationing that has now begun. Everything is starting to unfold quicker
than
expected,
but
it is not a huge surprise. I personally own a small and private operation
(cash only) which sells large amounts of bulk food storage for those who
have
their
eyes open and are awake to what's going on which is not many. We generally
move large quantities of bagged and cleaned Wheat, lentils, soup peas,
flax seed
and all other manner of legumes( beans) and oats in in large quantities.
[Some details deleted, for OPSEC.]
Anyway, the reason I'm contacting you is to let you know that we are now
seeing massive shortages and in many cases completely empty warehouses
here in western Canada. We work with the very largest suppliers in Western
Canada
right down to the the small growers. All of the large suppliers supplies
are drying up as everything is being shipped out of country and overseas.
Growers are hanging on to what little they have for the most part and are not
selling
out in most cases. Historically this has never happened
[in Canada]. We've all taken for granted the availability of our food stuffs
and now its crunch
time.
The
global famine has now begun and once the panic of empty store shelves
hits the local
supermarket. All that I can say is that you had better be ready for a nationwide
situation of hysteria and panic. Get what you can now, folks, because
it will not be available soon! -

JWR Replies: Thanks for those observations, which confirm
what I've been hearing in the United States. It is noteworthy that there are
ongoing food price and shortage protests in
33
countries--mostly in the Third World.
(Including
out-and-out
riots, in a few.) One recent bit of news: Japan's
hunger becomes a dire warning for other nations.
