Naver (South Korea) published an article on the stockpiling of food due to labor and trade restrictions. Food is an area where consumption cannot be reduced by rising prices. Therefore, if food production is reduced by only 10%, the price can rise by 30% and 50%. Senior Research Fellow Joe Glauber pointed out that the recent situation "can create a crisis that does not actually exist".
