China must be having incredible food-price inflation. They had a pig epidemic before coronavirus which was increasing the price of all meats. Now imported goods are piled up at ports, or not being shipped at all. Counties and provinces in quarantine can’t conduct regular food distribution.

Planting season will be coming soon for the main grain producing areas north of the Yangtze River. How will they manage?

You are right. Not only food inflation, China also needs medical devices.

FROM THE ARTICLE:

Products subject to exemption on additional tariffs imposed include denatured ethanol and wheat, corn and sorghum. Some medical devices and metals including copper ore and concentrates, copper scrap and aluminum scrap are also subject to exemption.
