World Cereal Production Set To Hit Record High In 2023

The UN Food & Agricultural Agency has started to update its database to include 2022 numbers.

Cereal output, which includes rice, was slightly down on 2021, but is still the second highest on record.

The value of agricultural output still has not been updated for 2022, but was at a record high in 2021, based on constant prices (ie excluding the effects of inflation

More good news from the UN suggests that cereal output hit another record high in 2023:

It’s all a very different story to the one fed to us by the media, with their lies of how extreme weather and droughts are supposedly impacting food supply.

    So what next. Do we write to the Climate Change Comm. to ask if they and the UN are taking account of these trends? Cc to the BBC and other false fashionistas.

    Increase is mainly down to big country that cannot be named increasing exports to non-western countries.

    Put those graphs against CO2 increase….wow! They are almost identical! Tell the doom goblin where to stick her Project fear!

    You also won’t hear this on the BBC.

      I haven’t seen anything about this on the BBC, either:

      “some wind farm operators exaggerate how much energy they say they intend to produce, which boosts the payments they receive for turning off, according to nine people — traders, academics and market experts — most of whom agreed to discuss this controversial behavior only on condition of anonymity.

      In effect, they said, the grid has paid some wind farms not to generate power that they wouldn’t have produced anyway.”

        Old news really. I think we covered this study previously:

        https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0167718723000292?via%3Dihub

        Specifically, we observe that in making their final physical declarations of output, the sample windfarms overestimate their final physical notifications of generation, the more so when other circumstances suggest constraints will be required.

        It seems to have taken some time for OFGEM to wake up, as usual.

      Quite the opposite Their bias in support of the climate circus is shown no more clearly than this issue because not only do they ignore the empirical data which has been stacking up for years but they have the effrontery to keep repeating baseless claims that klymutt sheyngshe is/may/might/could/maybe devastate crop production flying in the face of hard data. Usually no data, just activist opinions are all they need but if there is anything you can guess it will be biased worthless ..moggles.

      However, any localized below average cropping they are all over like a rash as “proof of climate change”.

      Serious questions need to be asked in Parliament about the BBC and their role in the promotion of lies. Why are they doing this? Some useful idiots may be doing it for ideological reasons. The others there is only one reason to be so corrupt and that is money.

      The BBC “impartial”, my A%&e!

        Questions do indeed need to be asked in Parliament but all our MPs are too spineless or too thick, or both, to do so.

    Which infuriates the UN Food & Agricultural Agency. How are they going to get people to accept UN control of agriculture for Food Security if we keep getting record production without their “help?”

    Reducing atmospheric CO2 will destroy an area of vegetation the size of the USA and the animal life living thereon, and return it to desert. It will reduce plant growth generally across the planet’s surface particularly in dry areas, and reduce crop yields causing hunger and perhaps famines to return.

    But it’s all in a good cause.

    True to form, the BBC/Guardian are avoiding mentioning what is really behind the Farmers Against Fascism protests across Europe – either due to incompetence or their normal lying – and all roads lead to Brussels and the EU. A new set of regulations were issued to change how farming subsidies were paid and requiring farmers to take land out of production. All member states must produce plans to achieve these changes and help the EU to reduce its CO2 emissions – not to mention food production and jobs. As these plans have been made public so we have seen the reaction in the Netherlands, Germany, France, Belgium and others.

    Last night the Mogg Show was on GBNres live for Scunthorpe about Green policies on the steel industy
    video
    as always i scoured Twitter to gather opinions
    There was very little traffic ..little on Facebook either
    (The hours SM was dominated by off-topic comments throwing hate at GBnews and Tories)
    – Mogg started strongly saying crazy green energy policies mean high energy costs for UK steel industry which is killing it.
    He reiterated this throughout the prog
    However some PR people had organised for the last segment to be the local council leader and a 43 year service steel worker
    He bowled a softball “”I think electrical power from renewables will be cheaper than any other power”
    The council leader replied with his Green Energy Park .. greenDream plan

      That really should have been anticipated, and countered with the size of the subsidy regime being orchestrated to support it all, asking the question what happens to the jobs if we can’t afford the subsidies, and why should ordinary people pay?

    I wonder what percentage of the increased crop ends up as gween fuel for power stations.

    • chriskshaw permalink

      David, fully agree. I’d love to see a breakdown of the percentage going to food vs industrial uses (perhaps even breaking out animal feed)

      • February 3, 2024 3:20 pm

        Around here there is miscanthus for power the stations
        and fields of corn for power the stations
        and a straw burning for power the station with a constant parade of lorries to it,
        .. Their huge stockpile on the runway of old RAF Hemswell burnt down last year.

        Greens are super wasteful

        Here in the US, there are vast areas of corn being grown to make ethanol to screw up our petrol.

        Parts of western Tennessee, Kentucky, and southern Indiana and Illinois.
