Food prices doubled this year

[jossiel]

This problem is caused by this epidemic. The scale of this virus is huge and unprecedented.

Not an epidemic but vast than that and yes, with that scale it's a pandemic.

The virus prevents us from working normally. There will be problems in natural food. This virus not only affects us humans, but also animals, restricting us. The efficiency of work leads to a shortage of goods, and natural prices will rise.

Things are coming back but not normal for most countries but we have to keep going especially for people that are living paycheck to paycheck and relies their food supplies with that.

Agricultural activities were never really impacted because the rural areas fared much better when compared to the urban areas, as far as the pandemic is concerned. And now most of the governments are opening up the economy, despite the recent spike from delta variant. They are of the opinion that the damage to the economy (if lockdown measures are implemented) will be much worse than the damage that the virus can cause. But I would differ. Even now, it is not safe to return to the offices.

Exactly what makes farmers, especially those in villages, actually they are affected by the impact of the existing lockdown which makes their harvests a little hampered in trading and more or less it will be hampered to export out of their area considering the lockdown continues to occur.
maybe for the pandemic itself it won't have much impact but the effects of the pandemic which resulted in a lockdown so they have to think extra about what to do with the harvest they get because with the lockdown the shipments they will do for producers or collectors will be hampered and even take a long time.

Yes, those people and communities that are in rural areas have been well to neutral with their lives while they're dealing with the pandemic too. It's not that bad as the people in the cities.

For the coming back of jobs, there's a flexible idea that has been implemented since last year about skeletal force and working at home. Well at least with these flexibility, they can come up with something to provide and can still bring food to their tables.

The pandemic, at least in the initial phases impacted the urban areas more, because it's spread was slower in the rural regions. But the new virus variants have changed this situation. Look at the United States. They are now reporting almost 2,000 daily COVID deaths and a majority are being reported from rural regions. One reason for this is the lower vaccination rate in such areas. Urban population has been more responsive to the vaccination drive, and they have better accessibility as well, to the vaccination points. That is not the case with the rural regions.

This problem is caused by this epidemic.

The epidemic though quite unusual is not unprecedented entirely, we had millions die in the 70's from a flu virus like this H3N2.   The reason prices especially rise is greater supply of cash to pay for goods which are not being supplied great enough quantity.   I just read they had to close down agricultural fertilizer plants that made growing food far easier because the price of natural gas has made it uneconomic for them.  
  People might complain about food prices rising but its also a part of a market system whereby a higher food price justifies to a farmer investment into production.   It has to balance out for those producers or they cannot continue and will decline investment longterm, this all is part of why inflation is destructive eventually because it makes so many prices unstable and not profitable in a supply chain.

True.

Another thing is because most houses and people in rural areas have a far allowance from each other so contact isn't that much, it only sums up that social distancing is very effective.

If the rural areas are more responding with the vaccination drives, they understand the importance of it. And as it goes with the food supply, they're more easily responding to the shortage with the crops that they have and they have a plan if there's a food supply shortage.

Not only into that factor but also on how far they are from each other plus having discipline despite of living in urban areas but still they could able to control up the situation even they arent that vaccinated.
Vaccines doesnt really give out 100% assurance that you wont get infected because one of the things needed is really on discipline.Speaking towards food supply or sources then its for sure that
there would be some shortages and would have some increase in prices which is really very understandable how much more on the situation that we are into.

On the other hand, countryside residents are usually isolated from the rest of the world what difficults their immunologic system to stay strong against the new virus variants when an outsider suddenly bring it to their areas. In big cities it's the opposite because there is a constant flux of people from different regions and countries, what helps increasing people body's resistance against potential infections.

I remember I saw once the story of an hermit family living in russian Taiga forest since the 30's which was only discovered by geologists at the end of 70's and after this encounter they lost almost all of its members to sudden diseases, possibly because the exposure to the strangers which transmitted something to them which they had no immunity to deal with.

Another example are the natives in south america who were exposed to the european diseases which they also didn't have immunity against. As result there were severe pandemics and many natives died instantly.

Agreed with the first part, but not with the second. The spread of the virus has been more in the urban areas. But as a resident of India, I haven't witnessed any large scale shortage of food items here. Maybe in other countries that is not the cases, but here the farmers have actually suffered from low demand and in some cases they were forced to destroy their produce due to low prices. A lot of people have lost their jobs and this has driven down the consumption. That may be the reason for low demand.

There's a low demand, let us say that and there's not that much cases in rural areas per se.

That's good for those places that can live for a quite a while to survive through what they have in those rural areas. It is true that the virus spread is more with the urban areas.

That's why those rural areas that are not in the problem of the virus, they are free to live well and think not of any food shortage on their areas.

[Wildwest]

Currently all the world economy is not good so we society is very depressed when basic needs increase especially in the current era of emigrants, and this also has the effect of stockpiling food so that our needs are difficult for us to get and the price increases, without us realizing this problem has been more than a year we feel and the government must find a solution in this case, And for now vaccination has not been fully accepted among the public so there are still many who have not done the vaccine, we hope that covid19 will quickly end so that the economy stabilizes again.

in urban areas, many people work in offices so they are vulnerable to contracting this virus. On the other hand, with rural life where every day working is like playing sports, because they work in the fields, few of them are affected by this virus, and their activities seem undisturbed. but for food shortages, in my own country there doesn't seem to be a significant food crisis, everything is fine

[shushu9977]

Yes, I think, many countries are facing this problem. The price of foods are increasing so high also in our country and around the world. The priveous day, I bought the cooking oil and after three or fourth months later, the price is again increasing. What does the future waiting for us? I am very warried for the future.

[Ngemmeng]

yesterday I went to the traditional market and I think the prices of vegetables, meat and grains are still stable. but the price increase occurred in fruit because it was approaching the celebration of a religious day that was identical with fruit, but the price increase was still within reasonable limits.

Well, the lockdown wasn't really necessary for everyone and shouldn't be that strict. Those who can survive the disease should be allowed to go outside and work for society. Besides, I think if you are lockdown in your home the disease could still easily get you if you are not well protected.
As far as I can remember, the initial reason for the lockdown and those who opposed it weren't too sound in my opinion. One was about Herd Immunity while the other was about giving the virus enough time to disappear by restricting them to locations were they were prevalent via lockdown. Other important factors were ignored

[ReiMomo]

Everywhere we can see the same thing. Not only food prices, but all other items' prices as well. Yes the main reason behind is the Covid 19 lockdown. Farmers, shop keepers, businessmen and all except corporate employees and govt employees, faced financial issues and when the lock down was released, everyone focused back to get back what they have missed during the lock down. We can not blame anyone. The situation really challenged everyone to face an unavoidable situation.

Yes they do, nobody said that they're exempted or unlikely to be infected.

What country you live?

If there's no shortage of food then that's good for you and I think that everything will start to normalize by next year and shortages will be filled for those places that are dealing with this problem.
