From reading the article: I think they are stating China is worry about the global food supply being disrupted by the spread of Coronovirus.
Thankful our food production was not outsource.
Nothing should be shipped to or from China for the next 75 years. They’re a large enough country to grow their own food.
Every seed company I can find online has been completely wiped out of beans, corn, peas, cowpeas, most squash (especially winter squash), lots of cabbages, etc.
Unprecedented for first week of April, I’ve been buying from these companies for nearly 20 years some of them. Never seen them sell out of anything before unless it was listed as ‘low stock’ to begin with.
