ESB 244 Posted September 12, 2022 Went to Walmart yesterday. Many food shelves were bare or sparse. Mostly meat, pasta, dairy, and poultry were noticeably low quantities. Yet other items had lots of stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yet other items had lots of stuff. Could just be when they restock. I just did a Costco run about an hour ago. Produce was cut back to a more limited selection, but stocked. Dairy was full up as was all the meat. Beef was going back up in price again, but the boneless skinless chicken breasts were back to $3.49 a pound from $3.99. Ground beef was up to $3.99 a lb though. Nice looking pork loin was still &1.99 a pound. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

father-of-three 243 Posted September 21, 2022 How much food does Ukraine usually export (with the understanding that it probably didnt happen this year)? I recall decades ago that Ukraine was sometimes called the breadbasket of the soviet union. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scorpio64 5,147 Posted September 21, 2022 20 minutes ago, father-of-three said: Ukraine was sometimes called the breadbasket of the soviet union. Ukraine is huge in agriculture. There is a lot of history about how the Soviets would make them grow crops and then they'd take the harvest to Russia and sell the rest on the export market. Do a search on Holodomor. Quote Prior to Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, Ukraine’s agriculture sector accounted for 11 percent of the country’s GDP, nearly 20 percent of its labor force, and nearly 40 percent of total exports, with Ukraine being the world’s fifth-largest exporter of wheat, fourth-largest exporter of corn, and third-largest exporter of rapeseed. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scorpio64 5,147 Posted September 21, 2022 Just now, father-of-three said: Maybe the western parts of the country were growing food, but that's probably too optimistic. Every farmer in Ukraine that can farm, is farming. They are literally farming in the middle of a war. You can't not produce food, people all over the world are depending on it to feed families and livestock. I believe there may have been a couple shipments of grain to Africa out of Odessa.

Damjan 73 Posted September 21, 2022 I Run a food truck down Philly way and since we do cheesesteak the necessary Onions have increased in price 10-20% over the last month and quantities available are low in stock at major wholesale food distributors. Same with Potatoes. There is a limit on how many pre cut french fries you can buy as well. We dont use those but potato prices have gone up as well. Recenly i ve invested in some Agriculture ventures (dairy) in Central Asia. We make a shelf stable cheese that can last 6 years and only sell to ethnic stores in the US. I have no idea how to market this to Americans. Maybe for food prep or hiking. So i ve been following prices from many East European and Central Asian exporting countries and the prices on wheat, onions, potatoes are very high vs previous years. https://east-fruit.com/en/news/potato-prices-in-georgia-increase-as-growers-are-expecting-a-poor-harvest/ 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dajonga 396 Posted September 28, 2022 I heard on the radio this morning that Nitrogen based fertilizers are hard to find and if found cost 3x from last year due to the war. Russia makes about 25% of the worlds Nitrogen based fert. Shipping Cos are not hauling Russian fertilizer out of fear of not being able to sell it due to sanctions. Report said Africa and Europe will feel the pinch before us and that this shortage will take years to resolve. Story mentioned that to make the Nitrogen fert. they need natural gas...so yesterday's Russian natural gas line explosions are timely, no? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are already seeing the food show up at stores that that news applied to. That was september 2021. We did set new highs this year, but they are tapering already and were more like 10% over the old highs. This isn't the global market, but it is illustrative.
