UK Supermarkets introduce RATIONING after shortage of store cupboard staple
Supermarkets are set to introduce new rationing after tinned tomato suppliers revealed they were running low on the item.
After three years of poor harvests, tinned tomato suppliers have imposed limits on the amount each supermarket receives.
This is to avoid running out of stock before the next harvest begins in August.
Director at Conserve Italia, Diego Pariotti, said: “We are basically out of stock on every single line because for the last three years we didn’t have enough to satisfy demand.”
Currently, Italy supplies more than three quarters of the UK’s tomatoes.
As a consequence, Britons may not be able to get their hands on tinned tomatoes this summer.
These shortages have also led to an increase of 20 percent on prices..

I’m hearing from many Iowa corn farmers - heart of our corn belt - and the prognosis is not good.
Recall the analyses I’d shared about USA needing a bumper crop for the world to avoid global shortage. A bumper crop is NOT happening for a number of reasons...
