Expect serious #food #shortages this year.

- China, Russia and Saudi Arabia are limiting exports.
- #ClimateChange continues to get worse.
- Farmers are going bankrupt.
-Farmers are planting less, or planting beans instead of cor which takes less fertilizer, but more water. Just when:

“Most of us probably have a mental image of tankers sailing through the Strait of Hormuz laden with Gulf crude, off to be processed by refineries somewhere else in the world. Certainly a load of oil takes just that route, but for the Saudis and other oil-producing nations in the region, it also makes economic sense to site petrochemical industries at source.

They export the much more valuable refined products, among which is the polymer #resin used in #PCBProduction. The Reuters report says that consequent to this and a rise in #copper prices, the cost of a #PCB in China has risen by 40%. Naturally this doesn’t sound like good news”

https://www.dw.com/en/north-korea-faces-food-shortages-as-drought-threatens-crops/a-76990431. The #drought is caused by #climatechange, beyond #NorthKorean control - but the #food #shortages? I strongly suspect that, if the #army weren't prioritised above & beyond the #civilian #population, the latter's plight wouldn't be so dire. I further suspect that the sheer #incompetence & #corruption of the #communist #regime has a great deal to do with this.

I'm beginning to see shortages of wholemeal wheat across several local large-chain stores in north Wales.

Wheat crops are under immense pressure. Perhaps that is now starting to be felt in supplies.

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the UK Government's Exercise Turnstone report? If we're going to get CO2-shortage induced food shortages it'd be helpful to know what we're up against!

... If our #health care was #privatized, this wouldn’t happen. The #Doctors and #Nurses would have to make their own way, or not, with resulting possible #shortages of staff in the #hospitals.

This situation high-lights yet another reason why it’s vital that we keep the #NHS as a National Health Service.

'Some medicines could run out in weeks or even days, NHS England head warns'

"‘really worried’ about supply issues amid US-Iran war"

"the UK imports 75% of its medicine”

"Because things perish and it costs money to store and various other things go out of use, you can’t hold years and years of supply, generally dependent on the product we keep a reasonable period."

"it would be “weeks’ […] it could be days for some products."

"We’re not currently seeing shortages of medicine directly linked to the conflict in the Middle East, but pharmacies are seeing disturbing spikes in prices, which can be an early indicator of challenges."

#UK weeks away from #medicine #shortages if #Iran war continues

That shows how negligent both previous and current Labour grifters have been.

There MUST BE A WAR RESERVE....

#UK weeks away from #medicine #shortages if #Iran war continues

It’s the perfect storm. We have the conflict in the Gulf that caused the strait of #Hormuz to shut down, and #India is known as the #pharmacy of the world. They produce a lot of the generic [off-patent] drugs and active pharmaceutical ingredients

With the geopolitical situation, it’s harder and harder to get those out
