Why is this happening? Farmers dumping food at the same time that supermarkets are unable to supply basics like flour and chicken.
Does anyone know why this is happening in the US and whether it is also happening in other countries? It certainly isn't happening here in Norway. We had short term shortages of flour and yeast but that is over and now there seems to be no shortage of anything else.

- vonmoltke 6y agoEh, what intermediaries between farms and grocery stores are "closed by law"?
- tssva 6y agoI'm not sure it is really happening in most of the US anymore. Take your examples of flour and chicken. They were sometimes difficult to find at the beginning of the lock down but it has been weeks since I went to a grocery store that didn't have flour and chicken available. My friends in other parts of the US report the same. Edit: By "really happening" I mean shortages of foods in the stores and not the dumping of food.
