Without the Ukraine crisis surfacing, the grain (wheat, corn, soybean) and supply chain issues were already going to be a problem, and many of these current mitigation efforts -wrongly being attributed to Ukraine- would have taken placed without any regional conflict. That’s why we predicted these issues last year, long before Ukraine-Russia was in the headlines. It’s interesting to see the media use the term “food protectionism” instead of a ‘food war‘, but really what we are now seeing in Europe is positioning amid territorial regions to keep food available. In North America (Canada, U.S. and Mexico), we are blessed with several crop cycles each year. Some nations only get one or two, we have at least three, but we still need the fertilizer.
