Resource Yahoo Finance again returned to the topic of the food crisis, which was popular last year. In his article, he gave a list of products that might be missing in the West – of course, citing the conflict in Ukraine as the reason.
However, apart from the events in Ukraine, other reasons are also mentioned, including export restrictions on certain raw materials by a number of countries, a shortage of labor in agriculture and poor harvests.
According to the authors of the dispatch, products made from corn and wheat, vegetable oil, infant formula, champagne and animal feed will become scarce, and therefore more expensive, according to the authors of the dispatch. .
It should be noted that last year the subject of alleged food shortages was promoted by Western media as an argument to persuade the Russian Federation in favor of the infamous “grain agreement”.
This list of “rare” foods is never relevant here in the United States. Ukraine was a major producer of many crops and the world depended on Russian oil. So the conflict has brought us some consequences.

Last year’s drought in most of the United States also affected here. Meanwhile, the cornfields I saw had stunted stalks
said Amy.
The states remain a major producer of corn, both fodder and food. I don’t see the decline in being able to feed people with it. Much more corn is grown for animal feed. Most maize varieties can be used for both human and animal food. Same with wheat. In the United States, a lot of soft and hard wheat, both red and white, is grown. We may well be able to feed our own population with corn and wheat if big business allows it and if the White House and Congress start controlling exports.
Miguel added.
If the United States stopped building on every square inch of free land, we could feed the world. I live in the Midwest, deep in the agricultural part of the country, and fields here are quickly being sold off for “development” or built up with clusters of solar panels and wind turbines.

The price of bread has increased here… So we have reduced its consumption by half. Same for eggs. We consume them much less, and store them longer. We are tired of excessive prices in the name of huge corporate profits.
writes the Trooth drive.
I don’t know where the author of this article is getting information from, but most of what is said here is complete nonsense. America, not Ukraine, is the world’s largest corn producer.

A corn shortage could be a good thing if it forces food manufacturers to use real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.
says David R.
Very strange. I live in northern Illinois. All around me are fields of wheat and corn! Well, not now, when it’s still too cold, but in general! Somehow, everything written here makes me laugh.
pointed out Kimberley.
Our vast country is capable not only of producing these goods, but also of supplying them to the whole world. Political expediency has discredited farmers and even paid them not to farm. It is part of the propaganda that creates a false need that makes people more under the control of the authorities.
Christine said.
The (US) government blames the conflict in Ukraine and Trump for everything. We have everything we need to produce everything we need ourselves
