Epoch Times reported:
“Despite U.S. agricultural exports to China falling one-third through May due to trade war retaliation, exports have surged above forecast due to the flooding of 433 rivers across China.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that pork, corn, wheat, cotton, rice, sorghum, and soybean exports to China from July 10 to 16 are trending above the Phase 1 annual rate of $32.9 billion negotiated in January by the Trump Administration.”
...”With China’s monsoon rainfall season running about 46 percent higher than normal, and 17 percent higher than the devastating floods of 1998, about 20 percent of the nation’s arable land is now submerged. This could lead to major crop loss this year, with rice, rapeseed and cotton being the most affected by the floods, according to market analyst firm Seeking Alpha.
Furthermore, the African swine fever pandemic that caused the culling of 180 million infected pigs last year returned as floods unearthed shallow graves and contaminated groundwater.”
“about 20 percent of the nation’s arable land is now submerged.”
What isnt mentioned is that the northern regions crops have burned up from drought. A large per cent of the wheat crop is gone up there.
I can not see any other thing coming but them starting a war to take their populations mind off this whole debacle. That or revolution-I hope it is that.
If they lose 300 million people? So what? They still got over a billion.
