The deflation report

I don't know, but if we had a government that was led by knowledgeable practical people wouldn't they encourage or incentify industry/business to find local solutions to imported essential items? Maybe even self sufficiency in energy and fertilizer, herbicides, etc.

Let's make sure we aren't reliant on imported phos and nitrogen. N is easy. Phos needs work.

Tying the last three posts together, one might go as far as to suggest that China may have actually been putting food production ahead of the comfort and wants of their population. Banning fertilizer exports, hoarding food and inputs, diverting huge resources to attempt to mitigate the effects of the current drought. The lockdowns may even fit into this category. It seems that they are prioritizing food production as opposed to Europe.
