Goya Foods CEO Warns We’re on the Precipice of a Global Food Crisis

Bob Unanue: “We are on the precipice of a global food crisis. God created humanity. Humanity has created every way to destroy itself — from nuclear to biological to chemical. But now we’ve waged a war — we’ve weaponized food. In the Ukraine — between the Ukraine and Russia — they represent 50% of the world’s production of fertilizer, 30% of wheat, 20% of corn, 2.5 million acres of sunflowers, other food and minerals . . .

“We’re going to have to tighten our belt and consume less. We’ve gone from oil independence to oil dependence. We’ve given up that position — to have our oil at cost . . . When we bring in stuff from — let’s say, Thailand — coconut water. We’re paying 10 times the freight we usually pay…

“The biggest component in food and anything is transportation. The transportation has skyrocketed because we’ve given up our independence. When you have an unbalance in the food production — in 2008, the price of grains tripled. Why? Because we were planting corn for ethanol instead of rice and grains and other things . . . When you have an imbalance in the world production — 50% of fertilizer — the farmers are paying double for fertilizer. They’re planting less. Their yields are gonna be less. Costs are gonna go up . . .

“It’s a very tight balance. And if we interrupt the food production, we will have a food crisis. Prices will go through the roof…”

I remember Goya Foods being in the news about 2 years ago.
The then president of Goya Foods said something that seemed supportive of MAGA values. I cannot recall what he said.

His family was very upset about it. He refused to ‘apologize’.
Twitter declared a Boycott on all Goya canned foods.
In response, conservatives declared a BUY-cott for that same brand of canned foods. Soon Goya cans were ‘flying’ off the store shelves.
Good Times!

Unless they’ve recently gone woke, Goya has stoutly conservative leadership.

He was a big Trump supporter...

I think CEOs should just give money to who they support...otherwise you make half the people mad

My Chicken & Corn Chowder recipe(s) rely heavily upon
Goya dried yellow split peas. NOT green split peas -
a different thing & taste entirely. Yellow split peas
do NOT taste like green split peas - not at all.

(And as if I needed an excuse to make another batch...)
It / they are very tasty. Economical too.
Healthy & yummy.
