Flood (Australia & Germany)

[Pizdzius]

I've heard it's really tough, specially now in Australia, I hope everyone from here is okay and safe. I keep my fingers crossed really :S

Same problem in the Netherlands :P

In Australia the immediate impact of the floods is going to be a whole lot less than the progressive effects on the wholesale food markets, especially grains and fruit. And our grain market will of course affect the international market quite a bit. The timing could only just barely be worse. I don't think the media has quite yet picked up on the scale of the coming produce collapse. It sounds like a cynical thing to focus on but it has a real potential to cost lives.

Watch out, world.

Oh quite near area, my sympathies as well!

I do imagine, we had similar problems with our crops this summer. You still can import though, even Russia after a tough drought this year managed to sustain 60% food production and did not suffer hunger. Keeping my fingers crossed.
