Rationing of vegetable oils?

[Mr Gus]

Feck, the missus bought into the panic, we have a further 2 litres of unnecessary sunflower oil. ..it is no longer a wine n' booze rack, by definition.
We are now "oil hoarders" ...thing is whilst it is better than rape seed oil (banned here) we tend to only ever have 1 litre in the house, for years now it's been olive oil then sunflower ( a smidgen for eggs which the new induction pans should have resolved) sesame oil (for stir fry & quick noodles) butter for everything else.

I estimate we now have 5+ years likely 8 years worth of sunflower oil at current consumption,

(however I assure you all that all those kilo's of marmite I have on the shelves is very necessary indeed)

Everyone seems calm now. However, unless something changes, we are in for a shock! Food prices and availability are coming under stress from a whole bunch of angles:
- Energy prices eat into production of fertiliser, food processing, food transportation.
- The war in Ukraine means that last year's harvest cannot get out of the country and this years cannot be harvested because storage is full.

It’s more that the problem for later this year/next year is that farmers can’t get in the fields to plant for this years harvest.
