A HUGE STORY NO ONE IS DISCUSSING

The coronavirus panic has broken our fragile, globalised food system. Shortages and higher food prices are set to follow. For now, markets have not priced this in, opening a massive opportunity to those who understand how to invest.

A SIMPLE THESIS

The outbreak of Covid-19 prompted governments around the world to introduce "lockdowns", in an effort to reduce the spread of the virus. One of the unintended consequences has been unprecedented supply and labour destruction in our globalised food system - that was fragile to begin with. As food is literally being destroyed on farms, it's also not being harvested or planted. This, we argue, has created the perfect storm for food prices to rise - and certain agricultural assets to outperform.

Globally, Farmers Have Been Destroying Their Crops

FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO HIGHER FOOD PRICES

Lockdowns have wreaked havoc globally with regards to border closures and labour markets, impacting agriculture severely.

Owing to the covid-19 panic, many existing crops have been sown back into the ground, animals destroyed, and planting season missed.

The trillions borrowed or printed into existence are going to continue to cause the cost of living to rise.

The political cooperation built over decades has created a fragile global food system that is now falling apart.

The world looks to be entering a solar minimum – adding environmental pressures to an already explosive situation.
