Has anyone seen the slightest indication that the food supply chain will break down?
Break down, no, but in my industry I’m seeing some things that concern me. A processor called me Friday and said most of his distributors are shutting down (restaurant business). What little retail distributors he has, are not enough to make it worth running the floor, so he’s considering shuttering. Now the truck line that depended on his freight is cancelling the route, because it’s not economical to run a half loaded truck. That pushes other processors that use the same truck line into a corner.
I’ve got plenty of product, but it’s the wrong size for retail, so it’s about impossible to move.
All this can be solved, but not quickly.
And so the world turns.
