Billion-dollar think tank Fitch Solutions has issued a stark warning regarding a very serious global shortage of rice this year, and the implications for our world are exceedingly frightening!
The primary driving forces behind this dire shortage are Russia's continuing war in the Ukraine as well as major, on-going climate disasters in rice-producing nations such as China and Pakistan. This has brought about a shortfall of the essential crop of over 8.7 million tons, the largest such deficit in over two decades. This shortfall is set to threaten the global food supply and could be the motivator for more civil unrest, strife and wars around the world, as the cost of food is set to go up even higher in the coming year.
The world is already experiencing mass civil unrest due to a global cost of living crisis, as the price of food and energy has spiked tremendously in the past two years following the outbreak of the pandemic. Nation after nation is seeing violent insurrections and riots in the streets as citizens demand relief from their overwhelming food and energy bills. Some countries such as Sri Lanka and now the Sudan are on the verge of collapse and all-out Civil War. France is experiencing its worst era of unrest in decades as millions take to the streets in protest over President Macron's pension reform law. Israel is also in the grips of a national crisis due to the cost of living and proposed judicial reforms, as Israeli leaders warn of civil war.
Hunger is threatening Pakistan following the worst floods in history last year, as the government deals with a political crisis. Peru has also seen deadly civil unrest and a political crisis after the president was impeached and removed from office. Brazil saw a violent insurrection in Brasilia following the loss of Far Right president Jair Bolsonaro to the leftist Lula da Silva. Although these events may seem politically motivated, the very heart of the issue is the cost of living crisis and the price of food and energy, which will always motivate people to take to the streets in anger.
Add to this horrible recipe the threat of a new, deadly wave of the Covid variant Arcturus first identified in India and now sweeping the globe. The on-going climate crisis is simply not going to go away and will in-fact only grow worse in the coming year. This will further exacerbate the rice shortage, which has the power to destabilize a large part of Asia and Africa, areas of the world dependent upon rice as their main food staple.
The Food & Agriculture Organization says that 50% of the world's population depend on rice for 80% of their daily nutritional needs. Unless there is a new way of doing math that I'm not aware of, a significant reduction in the availability of rice is going to create a major problem across the planet. Many global organizations including the World Bank and the United Nations have issued warnings of a "biblical famine" that is now threatening to sweep across the world, warnings that are being ignored and downplayed by most of the population of the planet.
Intelligence reports claim that China is preparing for war with "The West". China also warned its citizens to stock up on food and water for an "emergency situation". The country has also stockpiled 50% of the global supply of wheat and corn in the past year, as if in preparation for a "cataclysmic event" of some nature. Beijing is getting ready for some massive event and is preparing its citizens accordingly. What are YOU doing to prepare, aside from scrolling mindlessly through Facebook and Instagram, watching goofy videos on China-owned TikTok (willingly handing over your personal info to the CCP) and posting cat memes on Twitter?
Yes, this is the perfect Recipe for Disaster...
