Macron tells French farmers: Ukraine war will weigh on you, and it will last

Trade restrictions resulting from EU sanctions on Russia will weigh on French exports such as wine and grains, Macron said, while a further rise in energy prices will hit livestock farming.

A surge in commodity prices in the past year has benefited grain producers but squeezed livestock farmers for whom grain feed is a major cost. The government announced at the end of January a 270 million euro ($304 million) relief package for the pork sector.

The crisis in Ukraine is increasing volatility in agricultural markets, with Paris wheat futures hitting a record high on Thursday. Farmers are also worried the crisis could exacerbate supply tensions in fertilisers and disrupt the spring growing season for crops.

Because of the corruption and incompetence and wokeness and misdirection of western leaders things were getting really bad, but now it’s all Putin’s fault. Reallyl.

> “Macron tells French farmers: Ukraine war will weigh on you, and it will last.”

French farmers tell Macron and his mommy-wife:

“VA TE FAIRE FOUTRE!”

Shortages of Russian natural gas in western Europe, will lead to further price increases for fertilizer. Farmers will most likely use less fertilizer, resulting in lower crop yields, food shortages and higher food prices.

They only way for globalism to be achieved is to destroy homogenous 1st world countries. USA, Canada, Australia, and Europe. Make the “white” countries as shitty as the non white ones.
Homogenous countries have pride.
Non homogenous countries are Balkanized and squabble over scraps.
If whites are so racist, why do non whites flock to their countries?

We eat oil, literally. So constrict the oil supply you constrict the food supply.

Maybe not, but with decreased supply comes increased prices and not just for energy, but for food as well.
