Kraft Heinz Announce Next Wave of Price Increases Up to 30 Percent
Last year, when CTH discussed the original Kraft-Heinz wholesale notification for January 2022, we warned it was only the first round. The reason for waves of price increases is specifically, because each of the processed food categories is impacted differently depending on the amount of processing involved. Each category is different.

But, but, but, ... the White House told us there was *no* inflation in the food sector.
ReplyDeleteWe ain't seen nothin' yet with food price increases. Wait 'til after the coming harvest season, when crop yields are down 40% because either no fertilizer or the farmers just planted less because that was all they could afford to plant and fertilize to get an acceptable yield to just break even on their expenses.
ReplyDeleteWhy the fertilizer shortage and/or price jumps? Two U.S. fertilizer plants have shut down in the last few months, one just this week, because of fires at the plants.
Think that's a coinkinkidink? Guess again. That's enemy action.
How do you control control a nation the size of the USA with a mostly freedom loving population that is armed to the teeth? Control the food supply, i.e. starve them out with shortages and/or massive price increases putting a whole bunch of categories of foods out of reach for most of the population.
Think the price of any kind of meat has been high? You ain't seen nothin' yet.
Now, this IS most likely going to backfire on the PTB because guess what's going to happen when the ghetto dwellers figure out they either can't afford or there just isn't any food available. It's going to make last summer's riots and burning in the big cities look like a picnic. It won't just be the big cities either. Every burg that has any kind of ghetto dwellers will be in the same boat. I'm not talking about just black folks when I say ghetto dwellers. There's a broad spectrum of colors and ethnicities that inhabit ghetto's just like always.
The civil war that has been bandied about in the MSM and especially on sites like this one for the last ten or so years could happen this year.
People that are desperate to feed their families, especially their children don't have much less to lose.

Where there is food, there are many problems. Where there is no food, there is only one problem.

ReplyDeleteIts not just that food prices are going up; packages are getting smaller. And when the shelves are empty for days at a time, when a product reappears, what's your reaction? Grab it, and maybe grab two for backup. Without even noticing that the package is smaller and the price has gone up as well.
ReplyDeleteI just bought vitamins. The jar of supplements I bought is the same size as the last one - but this time it contains 120 instead of 150. See how it works? I noticed there was a lot of empty space in the new jar, so I checked the label on the one that is nearly empty. Yup. Screwed over twice.
Exactly. As but one example, Market Basket (New England discount grocery chain) used to sell boxes of sandwich baggies (the kind with the "tuck in" flap, not the zip-lock type) at 300/box. As of somewhere around Q4 2021 the "biggest" box is 90/box. Same physical size package, but far fewer bags inside. I don't buy sandwich bags enough to be able to compare prices (don't remember), but have noticed this with all sorts of non-food items.
DeleteOh, and the price tags on the shelves? Gone. (Or rather turned backwards so you can't read them and figure out what's supposed to be there.) Why? Because now when they are out of something (like say coffee, or soda) they put something else on that shelf instead, like paper towels. But the towel packages are one deep. It's a Potemkin village.
Check out your toothpaste for another example, Mike_C. It's shrunk by an ounce and a quarter.
DeleteJohn Kerry, who married into the Heinz family, is probably extremely excited about this. It'll give him another reason to run his piehole about scarcity and global scam warming.

Prices are most affected by the cost of energy. Biden nixed the Keystone pipeline, and he nixed the burning of coal and oil to make electricity in the name of global warming. This directly increased the cost of Diesel and transportation in general, and it increased the cost of production of almost everything that depends on transportation and inexpensive electricity. A head of lettuce costs more to grow due to the increased costs of fertilizer and everything else, but the real price increase is the cost to transport that head of lettuce from the farm to your local supermarket. Inflation is a bitch that feeds on itself!
ReplyDeleteThe information that I am about to share with you is extremely alarming, but I have always endeavored to never sugarcoat things for my readers. Right now, there are shortages of certain items in grocery stores across the United States, and food supplies have gotten very tight all over the globe. I have repeatedly warned that this is just the beginning, but I didn’t realize how dire things have already gotten until I received an email from a farming insider that I have corresponded with over the years. I asked him if I could publicly share some of the information that he was sharing with me, and he said that would be okay as long as I kept his name out of it.
ReplyDeleteAccording to this farming insider, dramatically increased costs for fertilizer will make it impossible for many farmers to profitably plant corn this year. The following is an excerpt from an email that he recently sent me…
“Things for 2022 are interesting (and scary). Input costs for things like fertilizer, liquid nitrogen and seeds are like triple and quadruple the old prices. It will not be profitable to plant this year. Let me repeat, the economics will NOT work. Our plan, is to drop about 700 acres of corn off and convert to soybeans (they use less fertilizer, and we also have chicken manure from that operation). Guess what? We are not the only ones with those plans. Already there is a shortage of soybean seeds, so we will see how that will work out. The way I see it, there will be a major grain shortage later in the year, especially with corn. I mean, we are small with that. What about these people in the midwest who have like 10,000 acres of corn? This will not be good.”
