Global Food Crisis — Ukraine Farming Sector Won’t Recover for at Least 20 Years: Study
Breitbart ^ | 06/17/2023 | Kurt Zindulka

Posted on 06/18/2023 7:09:56 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Ukraine, once known as the ‘breadbasket’ of Europe, will need at least twenty years for its agricultural sector to recover following the eventual end of the war with Russia.

According to a report from the Kyiv School of Economics, Ukraine’s farming industry has been severely damaged during the past year of fighting with Russia, with staple crops such as maize, oats, rapeseed, and rye not expected to recover to previous production levels until at least 2050. Other sectors such as barley, sunflower, and wheat are meanwhile not expected to recover to pre-war levels until 2040.

Let the free market handle it, and production will be back to prewar levels in two years.

Let’s try to connect some dots. Mysterious attacks and “accidents” in America on our food supply. Places burning down, trains deralinging, etc. Now Ukraine, a haven of nefarious deep state activity, and a major world supplier of grain, has just had their food production severely hampered for the next 20 years thanks to Biden’s escalation. What a strange coincidence. But don’t ask any questions. Just shut up and eat your bugs, lab grown meat, and mrna burgers, serfs!

Let’s not forget that IF the deep-state caviar-easting politicians in Moscow had not decided to attack sovereign nations, non of this mess would exist.

But I agree, this “plan” is largely pushed forward by Putin, and applauded by his Neo-soviet friends: China, Belarus, North Korea, Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Iran.

My first thought was aha they turn the farms into battlefields and take them back right out of production.

“Let the free market handle it, and production will be back to prewar levels in two years.”

Agree, with most of the productive Ukrainian land reverting back to Russia at the end of this idiotic Neocon War, the Russians will quickly get the fields back to producing huge amounts of food.

I wonder if the GloboHomoNazi/WEF Oligarchs have anything to do with this, or if it's just serendipity?

...IF the deep-state caviar-eating politicians in Moscow...

Too bad you got the location wrong, but I'll fix it for you:

Let’s not forget that IF the deep-state caviar-eating politicians in USA - FRANCE had not decided to attack ethnic Russian civilians, none of this mess would exist.

I think you have forgotten that there are nearly half a million Russian troops invading Ukraine right now?

There are ZERO American troops invading Ukraine or Russia. Right?

I think you have also forgotten that America, Russia, and the International community have recognized Ukraine’s national borders and sovereignty.
That recognition was even SIGNED by Russia three decades ago (!) for God’s sake...

Its about time Russia start respecting international law, and the fact that it SIGNED the document indicating Ukraine is a sovereign nation.

Russia even signed the Budapest Memorandum, assuring to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty - including Crimea.

Every country of the world has their own deep-state problem.

The deep-state in Russia is hated by the Russian people. You know why?
Because all the media’s is by law obligated to be PRO-GOVERNMENT.
There are no freedom to protest, to free speech. You can’t debate.
If you utter the world “war” in Russia, you’ll get 10 years in prison.
If a Russian says anything that is not pleasing to the Kremlin deep-state, he could also die of an accident... by irradiation, falling out of a window, or have his entire family cut to pieces which has happened to many Russian oligarchs who dared criticizing Kremlin’s warmongering and endless wars.

No wonder 1.5 millions of the most skilled Russians fled their country since Russia attacked Ukraine. It’s an exodus.
The Russian people are fed up, with the Kremlin’s endless wars and annexations of other peoples homelands.

Again, every country of the world has their own deep-state problem.
The deep-state in Russia has a particular lust for blood.

I wonder if any in depth analysis has been done regarding the loss of agricultural productivity in Russia due to this war.

1) I know they stole a lot of Ukraine farm equipment like combines and tractors which could have been useful to their large farms.
2) On the other hand they have lost close to 2 million, mostly men, to service in Ukraine, or emmigration from Russia. This could be contributing to a manpower deficit in the agricultural sector.
3) Although a significant number of Russian soldiers have been killed in Ukraine, a far larger number have been wounded. How many of them will be permanently disabled for heavy farm labor?

These are all details which must be answered to gauge the true cost of this stupid war to the world food supply and higher food prices.

Meanwhile American farmers may plant more, and if drought doesn’t spoil their hopes make more money. Meanwhile the rest of us can hope food prices don’t skyrocket this year.

You are right.
Thats why the Chinese will feed the Russians. It’s part of their new alliance.

Russia will become a mercenary nation against the West working for China’s world domination ambitions.
So... giving Russia the food it needs in exchange... is the very least China can do for their fellow Russians.

China wants the West and Russia to fight each other to weaken both.
