We're Only One Huge Event Away From 'When The Food Runs Out' - The Grocery Business Can Be Absolutely Brutal As CEO Warns: 'Every Day We Have A New Problem, It's The New Normal'
Telling CNN Business the issues of the past several years in the food industry will surely continue into 2023 if he is correct, besides more shortages and price increases, Patricio warns "beyond the double-barrel challenges of shortages of raw materials and inflation, issues like the continuing pandemic and the war in Ukraine......are adding to the uncertainty.....making things very hard for the entire industry."
And while CNN Business reports Patricio has been keeping obsessive track of supply chain shortages, to the point where he can actually predict what shortages will be coming next, as he told CNN, “It’s a constant fight to try to minimize price increases" because "Every day we have a new problem. It’s the new normal.”
Also warning that "every day there's a shortage of something," with tomato shortages leading to some shortages on products such as 'ketchup,' as that story reported, despite the tomato shortage, Patricio vows Heinz ketchup will stay on the shelves as usual because "We predicted that we would have a problem with the crop of tomatoes.....so we bought them in advance."
Outstanding words of advice for all as 2022 quickly winds down and 2023 prepares to come rushing in with more and more food shortages galore as heard in each of the 3 videos at the bottom of this story.
With the 1st video below via the Epic Economist titled "20 Big Grocery Stores Are In Deep, Deep Trouble," linked to by Steve Quayle on his website with the SQnote "MUST WATCH!," we see even more reasons to make sure we're fully prepped for what Heinz CEO Patricio also sees as pointed out in the 2nd video below in the video titled simply "When The Food Runs Out."
And with our videographer in that video warning us bluntly "We have reached the rollover point where it is now obvious that there will not be enough farm inputs like fertilizer to grow enough food to feed the planet. That would be bad enough but superglued supply chains will restrict exports and imports until April 2023 at best. Larger the crop losses, the more hollywoodesque the distractions will become," as we're warned of in the final video below and this story by Michael Snyder, "The Food Crisis Of 2023 Is Going To Be Far Worse Than Most People Would Dare To Imagine."

According to this recent story over at CNET at least 13 Supermarket Items Are More Expensive or Harder to Find," with supply chain issues, the war in Ukraine and other factors having fueled price hikes or shortages on everything from sugar and pasta to beer and butter."
And as we hear in that 1st video below from Epic Economist, while things were bad in 2022, there are all kinds of signs that things will continue to implode in 2023, with us warned in that video about all of the grocery stores in big, big trouble, "The truth is that the grocery business can be absolutely brutal."
Reporting that in recent years, the nation's grocers have been dealing with a series of issues that go from supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, disorderly mergers and acquisitions, and huge, huge piles of debt, we're warned that for many grocery store chains, even with sales booming, liabilities were so significant that grocery store chains had no other option but to file for bankruptcy, shutter all their locations, and lay off all of their staff.
Over the years, many supermarkets have come and gone, and many of them were actually household names at one point in time. But the cracks in our economy are starting to show up everywhere. And the highly competitive environment, its razor-thin profit margins, the crumbling retail landscape and changing shopping habits are making some stores that were once a key part of communities fade away from our memory.
Also meaning things for us shoppers become more vulnerable to abrupt price increases and are left with fewer options to choose from, imagine an America in the not-so-distant-future where we have to say goodbye to thousands of supermarkets, our once-thriving and once-beloved grocery stores having mostly silently gone broke and closed up shop, one less grocery store chain in our neighborhoods, one less place to purchase food for the masses.
I am trying to sound the alarm about this as loudly as I can. The global food crisis just continues to intensify, and things are going to get really bad in 2023. As you will see below, two-thirds of European fertilizer production has already been shut down, currency problems are causing massive headaches for poor nations that need to import food, global weather patterns continue to be completely crazy, and the bird flu is killing millions upon millions of chickens and turkeys all over the planet. On top of everything else, the war in Ukraine is going to restrict the flow of agricultural and fertilizer exports from that part of the world for a long time to come, because there is no end to the war in sight. In essence, we are facing a “perfect storm” for global food production, and that “perfect storm” is only going to get worse in the months ahead.
Eventually, there will be billions of people that don’t have enough to eat on a regular basis.
But most people in the western world won’t care until they are going hungry themselves.
Unfortunately, that day may be a lot closer than a lot of people ever imagined.
Over the past several years since the lockdowns/scamdemic, we've reported numerous times on what we'd seen in visits to our local grocery food store as well as shared conversations with employees there regarding shortages, etc, and as we've similarly read in comments from ANP readers about visits to their own local grocery food stores, everybody's stores seem to be having some shortages but they vary widely.
And while my most recent trip to the grocery store once again found a few shortages, though nothing to be alarmed about, the 'surprise' that came with this trip was just how EMPTY the store was of EMPLOYEES! Leading to my arrival at the front checkout cash registers and finding NO ONE working there, as I was told by the cashier when she arrived after being contacted over the loudspeaker to go to the register, nobody wants to work anymore so they're having a heck of a time to get any staff.
Leading to one of their most recent advertisements that went out having a BIG NOTE in BIG LETTERS that they're NOW HIRING, I also asked her "Where did all the people go?" with our local store looking much like a ghost town, yet with plenty of food there, at least for now. Surveying that scene that day, and now remembering it while looking at this 1st video below leads me to wonder if our local grocery store will be one of those soon going out of business. We sure hope not because Shop N Save has been a great local business, with great, friendly and always helpful employees, over the years.
So with it looking more and more like 2023 is going to make 2022 look like it was a walk in the park for many of us, with 2022 bringing many shortages all around but still plenty of food to go around in most areas here in the US, all it might take is 'one huge event' in the days ahead, such as the kickoff of World War 3, or another massive lockdown of America, for things to immediately spiral completely out of control. As we hear in the 2nd video below, imagine America in the days ahead 'when the food runs out.'
Below these videos you'll find plenty of links to other meats, fruits and vegetables and other products available now, many of them in bulk, for anyone who feels like doubling down on their prepping as 2023 approaches and a always, our comment section is wide open to your ideas or suggestions on prepping, in home gardening or any other survival-related topics at all that are on your minds.
