Okay, then produce more.
I don't get these "shortage" news stories. The only way you get a prolonged shortage like this is if the supply is naturally limited (which it isn't, for all intents and purposes) or if it is artificially limited (which it might be). Either way, the shortage is not because of increased demand, but because of reduced supply and/or incorrect (or deliberately manipulative) pricing.
- la_oveja 9y agoYou do understand that can take 4 years to make a high-end certified ham? And Spaniards buy this ham for Christmas?
- microcolonel 9y agoSure, but they could just buy a half ham this year, or not buy ham, or pay more for it than Chinese people are willing to pay. If some Spaniards go hamless this year, it will not be a tragedy, and it will be entirely in their power to correct. Christmas comes once a year, so prices are flexible for those who must have the hallowed ham.
