Speaking at the World Economic Forum about the “dire” global food shortages we have already begun witnessing, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said that the United States has an abundance of food and should export it to other countries to help out.
This comes days after President Biden and other leaders have warned that global food shortages will begin having an effect on America shortly. More and more store shelves will be empty and prices will rise dramatically on the items and food products we do get.
Supply chain disruptions caused by the Russia-Ukraine conflict have had a cascading effect felt by a number of countries across the globe.
The two countries combined produce roughly 12% of the world’s calories, as well as 30% of the world’s traded wheat.
The United Nations warned as early as March that Ukraine’s ability to “harvest crops, plant new ones or sustain livestock production” is in jeopardy due to the conflict.
Sitting down for an interview with Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo, Georgieva reaffirmed that the situation as “indeed very dire,” and called on Americans to go without to fix it.
“Before the war, already there were parts of the world where agricultural productivity dropped as a result of weather events, the Horn of Africa, but also India, which could modestly put some export for the world if that didn’t happen,” she explained.
She continued, “The war, of course, is horrific in this environment. The fact that Russia has blocked the export of grain from Ukraine translates into hunger and yes, potentially famine in Africa … in parts of the Middle East.”
She then recommended “openness in exports of food,” refraining from “food restrictions,” and not buying “more food than you need for your own country,” as well as the United States increasing agricultural output for the rest of the world.
However, the United States under Biden has been victimized by its own set of shortages – most notably the recent baby formula crisis which has even forced a wave of babies to be hospitalized and fed intravenously.
President Biden’s supposed solution for the formula shortage is something known as “Operation Fly Formula,” through which the military is importing the product from Europe.
“Folks, I’m excited to tell you that the first flight from Operation Fly Formula is loaded up with more than 70,000 pounds of infant formula and about to land in Indiana,” Biden tweeted. “Our team is working around the clock to get safe formula to everyone who needs it.”
The situation has become so dire, in fact, that the first load will go straight to hospitals, doctors, home health care facilities, and pharmacies in regions with the most serious needs.
Many of these retailers have imposed limits on formula purchases such that mothers cannot stock up even when it becomes available. Most brands are also sold out online or are being offered by third-party sellers for exorbitant prices.
The U.S. can expect to face more shortages like this, especially if Biden caves and increases exports or critical agricultural products which could leave Americans hungry.

Charity begins at home
The US already provides food. Let these billionaires use their own money to buy and send food where they think it will work. We are not the money bag of the world. These people, including our government and the media are the enemy of the people.
Well the US has to make some decisions NOW. Not 6 months not 2 months. The people have to stand up and retake our country from the DICTATORSHIP of this administration and replace it with a administration that puts its citizens FIRST
This is the next phase of the Globalist plan to depopulate the planet. They didn’t kill off enough people with the Plandemic, so the timeline is being pushed forward with food chain disruption now. You should have taken notice of evil Bill Gates selling pharma stock to buy farm land. Follow the money, and it is a preview of what their plans are for the future. The CCP has been buying up food companies for 2 years, and own every major rice producer in the world today. Now you are seeing why, and food is the new gold standard. Stop growing lawns, and start growing food gardens. You are going to need it, or you will starve. Watch how the hurricanes wipe out crops in Florida again this year, it will be even worse than before. Last year 30% crop losses, this year 60% or more to be sure. We can’t afford to be shipping food to other countries, but the little Socialist Puppet Democrats will do it any way. Their puppet masters have given them their marching orders. They don’t care about U.S. Citizens, and that is obvious ! FJB !
Perhaps US farmers should only produce goods for the USA? Let DC figure out where to steal the exported (I.E. given away) produce from!
The snakes have entered in. All these billionaire elitists of this WEF who claim to have the solution to solve all the worlds problems that they have created are just a bunch of snakes that have entered in like the serpent in the garden Genesis 3:4-5.
Why dont thwy donate their fricken money they have so much
Biden does NOT put America FIRST, EVER. Food, fuel, health, safety, anything. He continues to FIGHT to get rid of any slowdown factor to illegal aliens coming in, with terrorists and drugs, like Title 42. We’ll increase to 18,000/day, 6,570,000/yr BCP estimates, or higher. Unvetted, have diseases, some terrorists. Yet NATO, EU, WEF always want us to pay everything.
Did Gates tell them he’s purchased almost 500,000 acres of FARM and ranch land? Or that China has bought over 500,000 ac and CONTINUE TO BUY. They could just treat the soil with something to prevent crop growth, or poison animals, unless they’re planning on moving here. Over 300,000 ac in Oklahoma cattle grazing land.. ..Land in MT and CA, Missouri, etc.
We should NOT BE RESPONSIBLE TO FEED THE WORLD, and our border needs to CLOSE to illegal entries. We cannot sustain this ongoing attack from Biden.
Screw the bastards we have a crises here at home and we MUST address this before we can send out support to other countries. Most of the countries are always condemning and want to destroy our country But they still expect us to feed them.
Famine. Billions dead. Earth rejoices. Can’t get an better than that, as long as this bitch is one of the casualties.
I seriously doubt if the Chinese would poison 500,000 acres to prevent crops from growing, as the country is an agronomist country to begin with and has a need to feed a billion people. Better to produce and share than destroy.
THE WEF CAN GO POUND SAND AND/OR SUCK POND WATER.
THESE JACKWAGONS IN THE WEF NEED TO GET OFF OF THIS BALOGNA OF TELLING THE
U.S.A. WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING. TO HELL WITH THEM. WE NEDED TO TAKE CARE OF
U.S. FIRST AND THEN IF THERE IN ANY SURPLUS, SEND IT DIRECTLY TO UKRAINE AND NOT
TO THE IDIOTS IN DAVOS, THE U.N. AND OTHERS IN EITHER WESTERN EUROPE OR EASTERN
EUROPE.
TELL THE ELITE STUPID IGNORANT FOOLS > IF THEY WANT THE WORLD TO HAVE FOOD OR ANYTHING ELSE PUT YOU MONEY WHERE YOUR MONTHS ARE > YOU BUY THE CRAP AND SEND IT TO THEM>:
ALL OF YOU ELITE IDIOTS CAN STAY WHERE YOU ARE AT NOW AND KEEP KISSING YOUR ASSES AND LEAVE THE REST OF THE HONEST PEOPLE A LONE>:
The American people say to the WMF …mind your own business !!
That bulky Bitch should cut out 75% of the food that fills her fat face every day!
Biden and the Democrats are responsible for any made up food shortage we have I don’t know how many crops they killed to make some
America is not even in the top 10 list of richest countries anymore. Let the top 10 pay pay for it (all European) Go read Forbs. America has already given more money and weapons then the entire European continent. So, NO! Fu@k you Europe! We have a food shortage here already with people already going hungry in our country. We have to take care of our own. Besides the people left Ukraine already and are refugees in neighboring countries. So the only ones left are their own soldiers. It’s not America’s responsibility to fund or feed armies of other countries! Maybe Europe would finally step up and give up the food from their mouths. It would be about time that the European beggars stop being greedy with their hand out to America every time something needs to be paid for and pull out their own wallets to let the moths out and pay for some of their own $hit. The war is in their backyard not ours and they are the ones who have pushed this war from day one, now they can pay and feed it. The American Taxpayers funded spicket is turned off.
