Speaking with a friend in Indonesia - seriously going to shit there. Major food shortages. Not much in media. Time will tell if it improves.

Chinese government is now admitting that locally sourced grains may be in short supply over winter...a complete 180 degree turnaround from boasting that there was a bumper harvest a few months ago. One of the provincial agricultural ministers is on the record saying that they lost 30% of their harvest due to flooding, although the area I'm in is selling fruit and nuts cheap because they did actually have bumper crops, which pushed the prices to the lowest they've been for years. Our neighbour who told us he had a tonne of rice in storage now apparently has two tonnes, although I'm wondering how he intends on keeping it safe from pilfering / confiscation if things do get bad in a couple of months.

Big mistake telling people what he has.
