Acquaintance that works in the Walmart distribution system at the warehouse to warehouse level said the containers from China have pretty much stopped.

How much food and perishables come from China?

“How much food and perishables come from China?”

Some, but not proportionately nearly as much as the gizmos and widgets.

Food won’t be the problem. Food distribution will be the problem (same argument for TP). So having a supply of basics takes stress off the distribution system. And that distribution system relies on gizmos and widgets that do come from China, so limiting stress on that matters.

More importantly short term is the pharmaceuticals. Most of that stuff does come from China.

Maybe not a whole lot.

They have to get here pretty fast to not be lost to rot.

Besides spring is around the corner.
