is up thirty-two percent in the first quarter of this year.\u00a0 Beef is up seventeen percent.\u00a0 The price of chicken is up twenty-five percent in just the last two months.\u00a0 You have probably noticed the price of gasoline up forty-one percent as well.\u00a0 Still, you may not have yet seen that the cost of a metric ton of olive oil is up one-hundred-eighty-two percent since the start of this year.\u00a0 That hasn\u2019t yet trickled down to your grocery store shelves, but it will.<\/p>\n<p>So, what\u2019s going on?\u00a0 Gasoline is actually in a surplus.\u00a0 There are mostly enough cows and chickens.\u00a0 There hasn\u2019t been a collapse in olive orchards.\u00a0 Shortages aren\u2019t always tied to singular events, but distinct events can lead to shortages for consumers.\u00a0 When we think of shortages we tend to only think of them as the unavailability of a product because it isn\u2019t available anywhere.\u00a0 It used to be that when the potato got blight, or the drought wiped out crops, that was it.\u00a0 None of that crop was available to anyone.\u00a0 But shortages have become very complex over the years as a global supply chain has sprung up.\u00a0 Sometimes there\u2019s a shortage of a crop, but on a dock, somewhere, tons of it are rotting away.<\/p>\n<p>This blog will examine some of the shortages looming on the horizon and what you can do about them.\u00a0 From crops to pharmaceuticals to fuel, this year is shaping up to be the year of shortages.\u00a0 Let\u2019s take a look\u2026<\/p>\n<h4>FOOD SHORTAGES<\/h4>\n<p><img
