And when the shelves get restocked, what then?
That doesnt mean distributors and suppliers arent feeling the heat rn
And with the recent restrictions on travel
And market going in the shitter
Its pretty obvious what will happen
The breadth of your analysis is visiting your local Walmart for 3 days.
Dude
In a city of 50k is a good sample size
Its anecdote
But it is telling
What does travel restrictions have to do with food supply chain? Goods are largely unaffected in any travel restrictions being imposed, whether by the US or anywhere else.
No it's not
It's certainly not "telling" to the degree of a national level.
@Lidomite our soybean imports from china, rice imports
For example on food
What? The US EXPORTS soybeans and rice to China
What are you talking about import?
Rice doesnt natively grow in the usa
Corn and wheat does
Im not an expert i will say that and yes the USA wont starve at first
I am sure the supplies will continue and I've heard from employers of Costco just doing my normal biweekly shopping earlier today and I had finished all my previous stock. Didn't get the bread I like and no paper towel but they restocking on the beginning of the week and I didn't try other markets in town. Tomorrow maybe I still have rags. And toilet paper for another two weeks or more
But the pressure is on the market rn. The fear mongering among the Media doesnt help either
The US is food self-sufficient.
You probably buy grains from south America as many fruits and the things still moving
Either this is a panic nothing burger
" Other countries in the exclusive club of self sufficiency: Canada, Australia, Russia, India, Argentina, Burma, Thailand, the U.S. and a few small others."
Or the second wave in the winter
Will be the death of us all
What market are you talking about?
Just stop
STOP
The food market is not the same as the stock market
What happens on the stock market is not the same as food production.
Even if not, the products will still been moved around, dont worry, just don't panic
Your local Walmart will be restocked in short order.
Also don't go to the store and buy toilet paper for a month or more

Its hard not to panic a bit
That's probably the reason others can't find later
Whatever
