Quality maybe but there's no reason domestically produced food should go up a lot. The fact that China refused tons of pork and soy beans imports from America means there will be a glut and that means terrible finances for farmers but hardly expensive food.
I’ve already seen prices go up considerably at basically any grocery store I’ve been at. Capitalists will continue to increase the prices regardless.
You think grocers will pass the savings on?
huge, unexpected profits for groceries?
In the short term, maybe but next season they simply wont produce either.
There is not infinite processing capacity so much of that will likely go to waste.
Some naive shit right here.
So close to figuring it out...
For this current season specifically there will be a glut of food and not enough buyers. In the future if these farmers go out of business then prices could increase.
