welcome

Small progress in personal front. Situation however essentially remains the same.
waiting period has to come to end sooner than later.
More than welcome to contact me.or leave a message.

food prices

It is the first time in many years people in developed countries are facing price pressure in food items. I think there is a fundamental shift taking place where producers are holding cards and developed countries (military powers) are unable to exert pressure. Same goes for on cartels like OPEC -mainly due to Russia being a large petrol/ gas exporter.

cartels

See my post few days ago and possible cartels in producers of stuff like Rice.
Heartening to read that this is indeed being thought of as per news reports, though
idea is being ridiculed by some quarters.
Price fixing is quite common in producers cooperatives e.g. Milk in India
