These are the foods that are rare during the coronavirus
Due to travel bans and reducing production, it is the food that could soon be successful in grocery stores.
Despite the shortages of hygienic paper and flour (probably because everyone isglenish bread), It does not seem that grocery stores have a ton of food shortages right now. But after a shocking announcement ofSmithfield foods close their factories and an informative press conference by theOrganization of United Nations Food and Agriculture (FAO)Our grocery stores can start taking a follow-up in terms of food procurement in April and May. Which means there will be foods that are rare duringcoronavirus.
Why would food be rare?
According to Maximo Torero, the Chief Economist of FAO, the Food Supply Chain will begin to disrupt the next two months. This is due to less production in facilities (with fewer working people) and less traffic of supplies due to travel bans.This could mean that imported supplies from other countries could affect the international market.
Here are some points that Torero did in his online conference on some of the changes we could start to see in ourgrocery stores Soon, including the items that are rare.
Imported specialty products
With travel bans and fewer flights, importing specialized products from around the world will start making a success.According to CNBCThis means that all the specialized items you like to buy from countries like Italy, France and China will start making a success. So yes, these Italian wines or these French cheeses can not be on the shelves.
Fruits and vegetables from abroad
Did you know that 65% of Australia's agricultural products nourish the rest of the world?According to CNNThey are a major agricultural supplier, especially for China, Japan and the United States. However, with restrictions on flights, it causes major problems for the export of their goods. This excess product will soon go to their internal market, but with so many of them meant for international markets, the food will inevitably be wasted. While theAustralian Government US $ 110 million (equivalent of US $ 67.4 million) was announced to maintain their strong agricultural importation, travel restrictions could mean a success on US grocery stores.
Australia is not the only country that will take economic success in the midst of struggles to export their property. Other countries that provide goods, such as Mexico providing fresh fruit, can also begin to deal with complications. However, the CNBC stresses that the United States can begin to turn to local suppliers for their property, which means that domestic farmers and breeders could rise in business.

Rice
Even if crops and production for soybeans did not slow during coronavirus, Torero highlights the rice market can begin to take a success during this period. Export prices for rice are increasing in some Asian suppliers, which could lead to demand problems.According to the American riceThe production of rice takes a major blow because of the intercutor international offer. Although the supply may not seem rare now, with increased prices will take place on rice (prices are the highest they were in seven years), it could take a look at this particular market in the grocery stores.
Me
Although the United States produces many of its own foods, if these production facilities and industries have problems that could cause tension in domestic food production. Take Smithfield Foods as an example. In a recentPress release, Smithfield Foods announced that they closed their facilities due to coronavirus outbreak in their employees. Their press release stipulates the "closing of this installation, combined with a growing list of other protein factories that have mostly on our industry, grow our country perilfully near the edge in terms of meat food".
Smithfield Foods is a large supplier of pork products in the United States. Grocery stores begin to see a strain on this particular supply. Although there was no other news of the main production facilities, these companies considered essential to the American food supply chain, similar problems could cause complications and a slower production if another epidemic was produce.
Overall, our grocery stores are always stored with other foods we can make meals. Although Torero stresses that slowed production could cause a strain about other food markets - even processed foods - still much remains to work with, and is now not time to be difficult.
