Strangely, it’s not everywhere, worldwide but with exceptions. Where I’m at, prices are slightly more than last year. Maybe 1/3 of items are up 5%. No shortages whatsoever. Meats, baby formula, it’s normal. Eggs are the only real indication, I think cost to produce eggs world wide is fairly similar based on world grain prices. Commodity eggs went from 3.25 for a flat of 30 to $4.
Your comment reminded me of this: China is working toward farming GM crops which will increase thier yields and leave countries supplying China with excess capacity. That implies that there will be excess food where I am, and not a shortage. Currently no shortages here, but rampant inflation.
