    Not just down to Brexit though , apparently canned foods, pet food and beer may be in short supply due to a widespread aluminium shortage. Lettuce crops and orange groves were affected by plant viruses. One major producer of lettuce lost 80% of their crop in 2022.

    Farming production is way down as well, and there is a major issue with farming in The Netherlands and Dutch farmers angry at government plans to slash emissions used tractors and trucks Monday to block roads and supermarket distribution centers, sparking fears of store food shortages in the latest actions through a summer of discontent in the country's lucrative agricultural sector

    More like the cost of fuel meaning famers are switching off green houses. Plus Russia produces about 25% of the world's nitrogen fertiliser, I dont think that is available anymore plus the cost of natural gas which helps produce the fertiliser is also soaring.

    The part brexit has played is the red tape issues of making in a pain the backside. I have a mate who used to export to the republic of Ireland - it is a pain - so he bulk exports now instead to a distributor there - and they then re sell it. That's all changing soon though as there is a new agreement on how to do it apparently.

    Lack of fertiliser is affecting every country

    I thought I must have read every gloomy prediction there is. But I was wrong. I'll have to add lettuce and tomato shortages doom to the list of apocalyptic scenarios humanity may face.

    Wasn't all of this covered in the 2021/22 conspiracy theory Ballon D'Or winning great reset thread?

    Re: food shortages

    Not saying there are no issues with any foodstuffs ever but I went in Lidl and Co Op yesterday in Cardiff and there were plenty of tomatoes.

    I note the thread was started by someone with FBPE in their handle and he reposted from 'Johnny Fawr', who includes #ToryScum, #RejoinEU, #AbolidyTheMonarchy in his.

    Perhaps they could offer up their tweets as fertilizer to help growing conditions?

    My colleague Sarah Butler reported last night that unseasonable weather, storms in the Mediterranean and a cut in crops planted in heated glasshouse was leading to shortages in supermarkets.

    She wrote:

    Two big importers said they were managing to fulfil contracts to their main supermarket clients but had been forced to lower quality specifications, find alternative sources of supply or offer a limited range of options since the chilly weather started in January.

    Industry insiders said availability of produce is down by between 30% and 40% on some crops. Wholesale prices have also shot up, adding to inflation in stores as well as empty shelves.

    The harvest of peppers was down 70% in Spain and cucumbers by up to 50% in the country’s Almería region, according to the catering supplier Reynolds’ latest crop report.



    Climate change, rising energy costs (aka energy companies ripping off the public), and in the UK a lack of European seasonal workers post Brexit, all contributing to food price rises and shortages. The war in Ukraine not helping either.

    Of course all of these things are part of the New World Order master plan.

    Jon, as my old grandad used to say, when influential people tell you what they are going to do you should believe them!

    Maybe we could implement policies that would stop climate change e.g. renewable and nuclear energy to prevent this.

    Or is that just part of some global wef Soros conspiracy as well?
