Wheat War I is going to be World War III

[Vaskiy]

@Synchronice thanks for your input again but sorry I have a hard time believing you when people I know in real life are saying it and also many different media outlets like businessinsider (published on May 9, 2022) are also talking about the same shortage.
Or maybe that is all propaganda?!

German restaurants also are struggling with higher cooking-oil prices. In April, the famous pub Gaffel am Dom in Cologne said it would take french fries off its menu due to a sunflower-oil shortage.

A spokeswoman for McDonald's Germany said the company will reduce the amount of sunflower oil in the oil blend it uses for frying. The company told Insider in March that McDonald's customers can still get fries "in the usual quality."

Meanwhile, bottles of sunflower oil have been out of stock for weeks in German supermarkets.

You are welcome but in all seriousness, I'll visit some supermarkets not only in my area but in other boroughs, I'll probably visit Düsseldorf too.

Now, don't believe, just check:
1. Visit Amazon.de
2. Click on deliver to and put 57614 in ZIP Code (Disclaimer: This is random zip code from google and works).
3. In search bar, type: Sonnenblumenöl (This means sunflower oil) and just check yourself whether it's in-stock or out of stock.

What you say is different from what is being discussed. What OP tried to brief is about a particular store's situation. If Amazon shows out of stock, then it'll affect its business. These stores will consume directly from the producer. Russia and Ukraine contributing the major need of wheat to the world into war is the major reason for ongoing food shortage. Hope this will be solved.

During the disputes over Odessa, approximately 1.1 million tons of grain were transported from Ukraine to Romania by rail and road. This is the maximum that can be taken out by land in the current conditions.

Not sure whether it is possible anymore. The railway track runs through the Dniester estuary, and a crucial bridge (Zatoka) was destroyed last week as a result of missile strikes. Ukraine was using this track to transport weapons provided by NATO nations and as a result Russia decided to take it offline. And as a result the wheat can't be transported from Odessa to Romania using this preferred route. Other routes (both rail and road) exists, but I am not sure whether they can handle this much capacity. And railway system all across Ukraine is in a pathetic state as a result of missile strikes.

Heard that Russian forces are confiscating the food and utensils of Ukrainian so they die of hunger and cold.
This is curel - the damage done is already very big. There is a need for mercy and forgiveness so that life comes back.

but it seems that on the other hand the western countries when I see the news will provide tank assistance and war equipment to ukraine. from this it looks like the war will continue, and it is possible that it will spread, but hopefully not. And of course the route that Russia destroys I think is not only for the mobilization of food, so cutting off access can weaken the power of Ukraine.

While the US and other governments are worried about chemical weapons the truth is that something as simple as stealing the food and the water from the Ukrainians can have an even bigger effect than those weapons, we must not forget that the war also started when it was still winter at Ukraine so I would not be surprised if a lot of people froze to death as they lost their homes and the clothes necessary to protect themselves from the elements, so while we would like for the war to be over already it does not seems as if it is going to end as soon as we may like it.

In fact war is going worse along with food shortage as US had hurriedly passed a bill for $40B for Ukraine weapons. And western media still portraying that Ukraine is winning?

Wake up because countries that relies heavily on food exports will also be forced to buy wheat from Russia for rubles as well if they intend to ask rubles once again. Its like the sanctions backfired to all countries and sooner when they come to realize, siding towards Russia will be more of a survival. Its just so wrong so wrong to poke a bear when in reality we need them more.

several years ago in my country located in southeast asia experienced a fertilizer crisis. However, because of the cleverness of the farmers here, they have even made new discoveries, such as organic fertilizer from household waste and the natural environment, even banana trees, which generally only take the fruit after being cut down. so now in my country banana trees are fermented into fertilizer and animal feed. and it turned out to be effective. Recently I also saw a post that explains about saving farm costs by using and making independent organic fertilizers. so in my country food needs are always fulfilled because we do not rely on imports. although the government in my country is less active in fostering farmers. but farmers prove that they can even without the help of the government though. and now the government is starting to support and see the potential of the farmers.
my country is a fertile country.

However, I understand that in a country with infertile soil, food shortages will inevitably occur, especially if the country is used to importing food needs from abroad. then it can be a big problem if the import is stopped. This condition can lead to internal conflict. and will eventually widen into a bigger conflict if alternative solutions are not sought and found. it is not impossible if left unchecked will lead to war.

It is just propaganda. The Russians are not confiscating agricultural produce and equipment in Ukraine. Not even the Ukrainians have made these allegations. And let's not forget the fact that Ukraine is a grain surplus country. They are among the top-5 exporters of wheat in the world and currently there is no food shortage across that country. The only issue is that some 10 to 15 million tons of grain that is earmarked for exports is currently stuck inside Ukraine. The port of Odessa is out of action and the railway system is not in working condition. Until the war ends soon, these stocks will remain stuck inside Ukraine.

I inform you:
1. Russian terrorist troops, having seized cities and towns in the south of Ukraine, loot not only against civilians, but also steal and export massively wheat from storage facilities located in the temporarily occupied territories. This is a proven and documented fact!
2. Russia deliberately blocks the seaports of Ukraine, thereby stopping the shipment of grain to European and other buyers.
3. Russian terrorist troops massively steal agricultural equipment from agricultural companies located in the temporarily occupied territory. This fact has also been recorded. But here high technology has played a cruel joke on the technologically backward Russians. One example is the John Deere agricultural equipment, after it was overtaken by the aggressor to one of the regions of the country, was blocked and stopped working, which greatly surprised thieves who were backward in development and modern technologies!
Threat to the topic I will add another documentary, comedy story about the occupiers In Ukraine, backward terrorists massively steal from the houses of Ukrainians not only household appliances and things, but also plumbing. Washing machines and toilet bowls are in special demand among the inhabitants of the "great country". Yes, yes, do not be surprised - they steal toilets! But the funny thing is that when they bring washing machines to their place of residence and connect them, most of them do not work! And now the funniest thing - do you know why most looters do not have washing machines at home? I answer - because they do not have an ordinary water pipe in their houses that meets the requirements and standards, namely, water is supplied with an unacceptably low pressure that is not sufficient for the operation of a washing machine ... This is how greatness looks in Russian

[Sithara007]

^^^ Not surprised with reports of looting. Looking at the Russian casualty figures published by BBC Russia, I could see that the regions with maximum number of deaths were poor minority dominated ones such as Buryatia, Tuva, Ossetia and Dagestan. Hardly any deaths were reported from Moscow (where 15% of the Russians live) and St. Petersburg. Living standards in Asian republics such as Buryatia are abysmally low when compared to European conditions. And this is what Russia get after 3 decades of looting of natural resources by the oligarchs.

[Sir Legend]

The increasing need for food makes many countries have to do everything to meet the food needs of the country, I think this is the fault of many countries because most of them focus on industry and leave agriculture, when there is a stock problem, the wheat producing country will increase significantly, making the country feel difficult with the increase, maybe this is the beginning of world war 3.

Leave him be as it is; mate, this guy believes that in a world where Russia attacked and murdered thousands of civilians who had nothing against Russia but they are just too good to steal food. We all know that anyone who is willing to kill an innocent person and enjoys it, will not be stopping at stealing food, you and me both know this. He is a Russian supporter, either Russian or just an ideological lover, and they will go at lengths to make it look like Russia is doing something they have to, even though they dislike doing it.

In a world where Putin is hated by EVERYONE but Russia lovers, even some Russians hate him, so it is not really that much of a shock to have people come to defend the most disgusting things.

Yes - I heard the same from a Ukrainin friends - she mentioned they take along their pans and food. Maybe they want them to starve and die day by day.
If this is so this is very sad and cruel . Russia has done so much damage to the Ukraine and also to the world. Time to think

If we consider that people in the past were also engaged in agriculture and did not have artificially created fertilizers, then it is easy to conclude that they used something they could find in nature. For my garden, I use exclusively fertilizer that I make from two plants that are nothing particularly rare or exotic, and that is nettle and comfrey.

Fertilizer can be made in two ways, by fermentation (1kg plant + 10 liters of water) which is then used diluted with water to water the vegetables under the roots, or by soaking these plants in water for 24 hours using this water to fertilize plants through leaves. This is very effective because the plant gets all the necessary ingredients for growth, and nettles and comfrey can be found and harvested completely free of charge because they grow like wild plants.

As in the case you described, people have to deal with the situation they are in and help themselves by producing what they cannot buy on the market. Every country should place special emphasis on self-sufficiency, because being dependent on someone or something can ultimately mean a matter of life and death.

This only needs a little effort and the results are amazing. Some people have great minds. They take care of the environment and they waste less stuff and use biodegradable items. Hence do good to the environment!

If people will only have the eagerness to explore new things just to fill in the gaps or lack of supply in a country things will be quite easy to solve. We only have to be efficient and creative so we could contribute something during times of crisis. We could make alternatives to survive. If there's a lack of supply of wheat then we could switch to rice or corn. This wheat crisis couldn't get worse if people will only be wise.

The most important is to simplify our levies. we need to reduce the useless activities from our life. it is not only important for economy but also can improve our health. As we can see the the people living in villages have good health and even have very limited expences because  of the way they spend their livies.

I dont know we have to be so specific to just wheat, I agree its an important market but my overall take is commodities are booming in this decade and probably beyond that.   The reasons are fairly clear, we have a large amount of the world population outside of the west emerging from multiple decades of decline namely China and India.  If the world has a requirement for growth in commodities because those two countries are becoming more developed not purely agrarian then the production of food will become more important.
   I think agriculture and fertilizer production are two of those commodities, Russia doesnt have to invade another country but Ukraine is a natural competitor to them and with valuable assets such as their ports on the black sea.   Without transport via shipping Ukraine will require the alternative of 1 million truck loads to sell their grain, thats the scenario at present where Russia just retains their current captured land.     Its a war about money and power over assets yet again, the rest is an excuse for killing.

Food waste is recycled in quite a few countries now, it is a waste not to of course.  Any rubbish dump can become explosive for reasons related to that as gas naturally occurs from decomposition and accumulates until ignited.  I think India that happened recently, waste management is respected quite a few places now but still great improvements do need to be made.    Part of the commodity cycle is higher prices incentivizing the investment into recycling goods to be reused also

A few years back, Sri Lanka tried to replace chemical fertilizer completely with organic fertilizer. They banned chemical fertilizer such as Potash, Phosphate and Urea and asked the farmers to rely on organic fertilizer such as compost. But this experiment failed pathetically and the agricultural output collapsed. This was one of the reason why Sri Lanka is facing an economic meltdown right now. Things such as green energy and organic fertilizer sounds good on paper, but when you try to put in to practice on a massive scale, it seldom works.

Perhaps more precisely, we should save money by reducing expenses related to expenses that are not too important,
if you compare life in the city and in the village, I think it's really different, both for the necessities of life and so on,
but apart from that living frugally is very important and maybe we can practice little by little
