Thank you for this topic. You did a great job linking up the food chain to the price of food, very well done indeed.
On a separate note, some say fertilizer price will up as grain prices go up. Like you said, China lacks good farmland. With climate issues, drought and /or extreme rain can disrupt farmers' incentive to use more fertilizer to boost crop yield despite crop price inflation. Hence, investing in fertilizer companies must correlate global weather pattern change and commodity price ... and many other variables together. However, investing in the crop commodity itself is a different beast. This is just my macro thinking. Do you see anything wrong here? Thanks
Currently travelling in India and south Asia, from what I can see, consumption of staple food commodities have dropped because consumption has dropped, so the prices are in a downward trend. Luxury items like pork, beef etc all gone up.
Think global warming might push food inflation higher in years to come. In short term feels like companies are not increasing price. £7 for a pint is probably enough temporarily therefore markets might get fooled by the next few months data. You will be right eventually .

The current sunspot cycle will peak soon and then turn down into 2030's. Mini ice age.
