A food insecurity expert said the world has only about 10 weeks of wheat supplies left in storage amid the conflict in Ukraine and as India has moved to bar exports of wheat in recent weeks.
Sara Menker, the CEO of agriculture analytics firm Gro Intelligence, told the United Nations Security Council that the Russia–Ukraine war “simply added fuel to a fire that was long burning,” saying that it is not the primary cause of the wheat shortage. Ukraine and Russia both produce close to about a third of the world’s wheat.
“I want to start by explicitly saying that the Russia–Ukraine war did not start the food security crisis. It simply added fuel to a fire that was long burning. A crisis we detected tremors from long before the COVID 19 pandemic exposed the fragility of our supply chains,” Menker said, according to a transcript.
“I share this because we believe it’s important for you all to understand that even if the war were to end tomorrow, our food security problem isn’t going away anytime soon without concerted action............

Analyst Warns World Has Just ‘Ten Weeks’ Of Wheat Supplies Left In Storage.
Good thing they’re growing more. 🤣
Something about grains becoming very expensive while prices on wine and olive oil remain stable comes to mind....
Let them eat cake.
That was last years if not the prior years wheat. We have so much wheat and corn stocks the corn just sits in piles outside because the storage facilities are so full. Don’t believe everything you are told.
And the majority of my leftist acquaintances just ignore it. They still somehow have been trained to focus their fear on Trump, Tucker Carlson, White Supremacy, Slava Ukraina etc. etc.
I don't know what it will take for them to change their thinking, or even it that is ever possible.
Or let them eat Keto.
I’ll believe we have a crop shortage when the gubment quits paying farmers to keep land fallow, and when the gubment quits forcing us to power our cars with corn syrup.
Russians steal vast amounts of Ukrainian grain and equipment, threatening this year’s harvest

Evil leftists..around the world.. must be dancing in the streets..?
Yeah, there maybe some places that only has a 10 day supply left, but there is no way the world has only 10 day supply left, that’s absurd and fake news.
Why are we paying all these important geniuses all these fat salaries? They are all helpless to do anything about it all. All we here is doom doom doom. No one even offers a solution.
And woe to women who are nursing infants (perhaps Mark meant to include baby formula in that “Woe”) ;-)
Good catch.
What we are seeing is likely just an early dry run.

With the price of diesel up sky high, what farmer can afford to plow an inch of ground? With Russia filling Ukraine farmland with huge potholes from their bombing, WTH! Russia has successfully taken the Ukraine bread basket out. Because of the world’s two Stooges, Biden and Putin, the world will suffer.
The Third Stooge? He is about to make his foolish move on Taiwan. By taking out Taiwan, Xi Jinping will eliminate 92% of the world’s most advanced semiconductor manufacturing capacity. WTH! We wont be able to manufacture a Boing 737 or a clock radio. Soon, we’ll be rubbing two sticks together to start a fire.
“Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk”
US wheat harvest starts in June...
So yeah, we’re growing more!
I didn’t realize “the World” had any wheat supplies.
Middle of the 7 years once they start for the world 🌍🌎. But you’re correct, it’s coming.
Matthew 24:19-22
King James Version
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
