Newest chain of grocery stores - Dali big boost to food security

"Food for every ones table and every homes"

In just a few years, their number all over the coutnry has grown to over a thousand.  Their strategy:   fewer inventories, no frills.  But definitely they are the newest hub for food stuff you need every day:   bread, coffee, drinks, eggs, bfast, water.   They all but killled the sari sari store (save for the lista which you can only have at the sari sari store)

They are 7 days a week with services from 6:30 to 9:30 in the evening.  I shop there for my house needs and bike rides.   

The store model is from Germany (ALDI) and the investors are big multilateral institutions:   ADB, IFC etc.  The mother company is from Switzerland.    They have their own brands:  coffee, softdrinks and others.      But the said business is incurring billions in losses.  Is this sustainable?

The said store is an added help towards achieving food security and lessen the need for stockpiling. 

33 countries advise citizens to prep for at least 3 days..

"Food for every ones table and every homes"

On October 28, 33.countries advised its citizens to be prepared for emergency with food water and toilettries for at least 3 days (72 hours)   This is not new.  If citizens are ready, emergency services will not be overwhelmed with relief and rescue operations.  17 of the countries are from Europe

But there are several reasons advanced for this

     1.  Possibility of WW3 in Europe (USSR vs UK,  Iran vs US)

     2.  Cyber attacks

     3.  Weather conditions

     4.  Earthquakes and other force majeure (Japan advised its citizens because of possible tsunami and 

          earthquake strikes

     5. Nov 13, 2026 end of times prediction

It is very possible that any one of combination of the 5 are true.  But whatever it is, are you prepared.  Do you have enough food and water for at least 3 days?  This is the true essence of food security

Food security, abundance should be the focus of the nation in these times of uncertainity

"Food for every ones table and every homes"

                                        Hedging for a possible collapse of financial system

In case of financial collapse (currency devaluation, hyperinflation) it is best to prepare for these by:

(very possible in Japan, USA, France)

     1.  Investment in stocks of

                   1  food

                   2. water

                   3.  fuel

                   4.  renewable energy source

     2.  Increase strengthen network (of friends, and sponsors, just in case)

     3.  Invest in farmland, places where you can grow your own food -  take care of livestock -  goat

          sheep and chicken for their eggs and meat.

The next businesses to invest in are in agriculture:

      1.  staples -  rice,corn, meat

      2.  meat and livestock products (there are many ads from China for broiler and egg producction

      3.   cooking oil

The billionaires could not be wrong for investing huge on farmlands.

One area where SMC is strong is in foods (mostly agri)   meat, (chicken) frozen foods, purefoods,

coffee.    Nestle is very strong in foods.   CP of Thailand too

Philippines still not under threat of financial collapse; employment opportunities still abound apply now

                                          In case of nuke war or financial crash (nearing)

When the world economy: stock markets, financial market collapse, the financial instruments we have: stocks, bonds, CTD, passbooks, will all but be useless. We cant eat them.  Even gold  (Warrent Buffet dislike gold as an investment because it has no other functional value except to make jewelry - which is difficult times is superflous)  you need food, shelter, water in case...especially during end of times predictions.

There are two options:   to depend on the state for assistance (and most likely they will not be able to do anything in view of debased state assets in reserves or currency and or absence of taxpayers to support the govt.  The second options is to go put up a farm, and or contact friends who have farms so that you will have food to eat.

In that respect. PHL is a good place to go in case of financial market and/or economic collapse.

MVP invests in agriculture and urges others to follow suit

"Food for every ones table and every homes"

MVP of the Metro Pacific group is investing in food (probably tired of the infra projects which just keep on pouring cash into his conglomerates) :     dairy, coconut venture

We now see big companies realizing the importance of food security.    Other tycoons follow the leader?

MVP invests big in agri

"Bilyonaryo Manny V. Pangilinan is calling on corporate giants in the country to follow his lead and explore opportunities in agriculture.

Despite the sector’s challenges and negative perceptions akin to the mining industry, Pangilinan believes there is a crucial need for significant business groups to engage in farming."

Bill Gates, one of the wealthiest men in USA, invests heavily in farmlands

"Food for every ones table and every homes"

We have not interviewed Bill Gates, or we are not that close but he is one of the smartest guy in the planet (why he is very rich) for having invested that much in farmlands.  When US currency is debased, the guy to whom we run to is the one who produce the food.  Stacks of cash and gold which we can not eat, are nothing -  valueless. But farmlands producing tons of food will be valuable in case of economic crash.

In the 1900, people divested themselves of farmlands which caused them penury.   And now.

If Bill Gates is doing the smartest thing, why shouldnt govts and other rich people do the same

Smart eh...

Billions plundered could have been used to fund food security project

"Food for every ones table and every homes"

The country could have invested the flood control plunder into food security project.    The state should look for the future of food for the masses  Instead what do the leaders do-  enrich the people.   The goal is not the money or wealth but productivity.  (as the  Scriptures have said)   Having more money in possession is not the goal, but to make money produce more food. Money or gold or any currency are only medium of exchange -  to purchase cap ex to better our lives.  

Currency are debased and lose value:  but having tracts of land planted to rice and corn, having cattle etc is a better alternative now compared to having stacks of cash in your house.  They cant be eaten.

Why farmers leave farming the farm? (why agriculture could be on the decline)

"Food for every ones table and every homes"

The common answers are:

1.  Farming is hard;

2.  You do not earn much in farming and pests and typhoons wipe out the little that you earned;

3.  Young people want the good life:    night life, office work, not dirty and back breaking at the farm

Many have not explained that since food is a necessity and prices are better, there could be millions in farming.   Prices of rice, coffee, chocolate is better.  And there are agriforestry that brings in millions:   bamboo, cassava, sweet potatoes, flowers.  No one is taking the lead, and explaining these to the farmers and young people

In a forum where PBBM was asked this question, (this post doesnt know whether he was still the DA sec,)  he failed to explain fully well the arguments in favor of agriculture

I want agri to be the next trajectory of my life in the next 30 years.   MVP and the rest are pursuing agri as the next big thing
