Hiina majanduses on väga rasked ajad tänu riigi COVID poliitikale.
Trucking volume is down 87% in China's agricultural heartlands.
Further a third of farmers in Jilin, Liaoning, and Heilongjiang can't get fertilizer or seeds for the spring crops.
Because said fertilizer and seed is stuck in cargo holds in Shanghai.
Authorities are also sealing off access to rural villages. Meaning the seed and fertilizer which got off the ships can't get to the cities.
But, its not like that would matter anyways.
Local authorities are arresting farmers for being on their tractors.
In a field.
By themselves.
Due to Zero COVID policies.
And now truckers are just dumping food on the side of the road because they're being told they will have to be locked down in their trucks for weeks if they enter the city.
Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, Shanghai, Anhui, Hebei, Liaoning, Shaanxi, Jilin, Guangdong, and Fujian have all gone a step further and shut down access to highways entirely.
