I’m guessing that in Sweden the temperature at about 2m underground is probably close to a refrigerator, right? In Canada it’s typically between 4C and 10C year round. So, as long as you can keep it dry, it’s very good for long-term storage. And, even if there’s no huge war coming, it certainly looks like the disruptions due to the Strait of Hormuz will last years at this point. We won’t even begin to see the effects of the fertilizers produced in the gulf being choked off until the harvest season comes. And if the farmers have enough fertilizer for this season, it might be next season’s crops that are hit. Living in a rich country means you probably don’t have to worry about starvation, but you might face huge prices, or a major lack of selection. People in poorer countries will probably have an even worse outcome than that. So, it’s a good idea to stock up on certain staples that you actually use before the prices start increasing.
