„Tomato prices alone increased 45.2 per cent year-over-year due to poor growing conditions in Mexico. According to the agency, supply was constrained by severe weather and U.S. tariffs, which caused Mexican growers to reduce their acreage.“
Get ready for those beef prices to get much, *much* higher.
Trump’s insane decision to listen to Texan ranchers who wanted to open America’s borders to screw worm infected cattle is only going to wreck ever worse havoc on American – and by extension North America’s integrated – beef production system.
The sterile swarm production at present is far too small to stem the tide.
Given that production in Mexico has likewise taken a beating, those prices will skyrocket.
Edit: also, all other protien sources, and for it to be far worse here than in the USA, as supply managed poultry and eggs cannot surge supply to give alternative protien sources.
And there are still no shortage of stupid voters in Canada who will still vote for Carney’s regime despite these skyrocketing cost-of-living dynamics in the country, because they foolishly believe it can’t possibly be the fault of Carney and his destructive regime who have been at the helm in Ottawa since 2015.
You can’t fix ’stupid‘, folks.
Next.
Tomatoes are likely a temporary thing due to weather, like orange juice (spiked last year) and coffee (finally coming down?). I saw on-the-vine tomatoes on sale at $2.50/lb yesterday so that’s already pretty close to normal. Beef is probably a longer term problem due to the structure of the supply — as I understand it, a few years ago a bunch of ranchers were losing money sold their cattle, but then beef prices skyrocketed and it’s now too expensive to buy back in.
The price of tomatoes is terrible for sure, but to rub salt on the wound the flavour of them is non existent too. Mass produced garbage, I’d love to know how and where they’re all grown.
