World has 10-week supply of wheat, expert tells UN Security Council.
“This isn’t cyclical. This is seismic,” Menker said during a special meeting of the UN Security Council. “Even if the war were to end tomorrow, our food security problem isn’t going away anytime soon without concerted action.”
Before the Russia-Ukraine conflict began, the two countries supplied a combined one third of the world’s wheat exports and were in the top five exporters of corn. Coupled with widespread fertilizer shortages, supply chain issues and record droughts, the world has about 10 weeks worth of wheat on hand, Menker said.
China has been hoarding grains for over a year.
In Saskatchewan, overall spring seeding is running behind schedule, due to cold and wet.

Drip, drip, drip.

Don’t worry…
Trudeau is in charge
He will make certain
That we all starve
OK. Maybe this isn’t true.
But considering the CCP and the state of everything going on in the world –
we should, maybe, think about it:
China planning WWIII, including invasion of US/N. America –

The Wheat will balance itself!
Since 2017 wife and I have been preparing on our lake acreage in northern Ontario. No neighbors and tons of crown land.
Leave big cities now, learn new handy skills and amass cash & stuff to barter later.
It’s all over.
We have done the same. million acres of crown land and a spring-fed lake as our neighbours. We do need a greenhouse. I just don’t know which one to buy.
build your own . you can find tonnes of discard glass and window. remember it doesnt have to be rain tight
Just yesterday a train carrying fertilizer derailed in Alberta, another in a long line of food related accidents.
It was going to China, no damage here.
Sure hope there’s lots of cake.
I’m confused by the 10 week basis for this claim.
Russia And Ukraine would not be harvesting in 10 weeks would they? This problem must be more involved than just the war then.
I suspect our “leaders” have found the perfect patsy to try and hide behind for their incompetence.
@CanuckJack
I’m not a farmer but I’m guessing we are still eating off last years harvest and storage. Some southerly US states have earlier crops and some x2 crops per year.
The farmers here have silos full of grains.
This year they may get a better price with the manufactured ‘crisis’.
Your right Canuck all bullshit.The world was supposed to end a long time ago due to the seas rising etc.
The Month of February is the only month of the year when wheat is not harvested. It is an internationally traded commodity. One consequence of the explosion of the ‘fireworks’ in the port district of Beirut, Lebanon was the wrecking of their grain handling facilities. f government would leave the market alone it will correct itself. Innovation and profit will do more to correct a shortage than any govt program.
more lockdowns, electrical blackouts and fuel shortages are coming
Who controls those levers of power?
They are the enemy
Maggie’s Moron increases the costs of farmers inputs and is planning on restricting the use of fertilizer.
There are control freaks that got together in Davos.
These low lifes have the ear of the media cartel.
The best way to suck money off of the plebeians is to create crisis that is immediate and life threatening, that way they, the low lifes, can impose more and more restrictions on the plebeians.
The guy that got all this together is familiar with National Socialism also known as NAZI’sm to distract from the long definition. When you call it national socialism does not sound that bad to a plebeian, NAZI is another ball of wax altogether, as the saying goes. After all socialism is free stuff, what’s the down side to a feeble mind?
So this guy that got all this shit going have actually remodeled the ‘national socialism” into ‘global socialism’ hence GLOZI’sm.
Same shit and a whole new build back better (bbb) pile of it.
One can wonder when the proles become aware of being had and start changing their votes.
Just think how much they can bbb and dicktate the behavior and slavery without plebes getting it.
If certain Klaus think that he should have nothing and be happy, he should start with it at this very moment.
The rest of plebes can go on with life’s struggles and prosperity.
I am wondering when the masses in the city will all go FESTIVAL (classic Star Trek reference)
Good thing we grow inedible Ethanol Corn so Iowa Farmers can afford to buy normal corn to eat. We’ll eat cake. Mangecakes do that anyway…
The Elites want the world to be their big park/zoo with just enough human animals to maintain their luxury.
In essence, that is the aim of GLOZI’s
Why in God’s name should Russia sell us a grain of wheat ever again, before our institutions have been de-Nazified to her satisfaction?
In southern Manitoba there’s been exactly zero seeding. I saw a tractor on a field for the first time yesterday. He was spraying, not seeding.
When it starts it will be an absolute blitz.
I recall during the days of the Soviet Union when the Russians had more acreage under cultivation but couldn’t even feed their own people. Canada sent a lot of wheat to them back then, a lot of farmers became wealthy.
Some time ago I recall seeing something about what would happen if the northern grain supplies failed. A lot of heavily populated countries would be in a starvation situation. Egypt, for example with 105 million people imports 80% of its wheat.
Does anyone think they would just stay home and slowly starve? I wouldn’t. Millions of invaders would overwhelm Europe. At first the Europeans would let them in like they have been for decades, and when they finally realized they have to brutally repel them, it would be too late.
Is this inevitable?
Wouldn’t be if Trump was still in power.

Xi is bucking for a third term as president at the upcoming CCP congress in October. He’s promising the party to make Taiwan China again and, I’m sure, a few other things as well.
