So by selling this instead of hoarding it Coscto is confirming its bearish on a scenario where food becomes scarce for a year or more

I'm sure they expect it to end up in landfill.

And..? I don’t even care if the best hedge fund is bearish about this. Nobody can predict black swan events like Doomsday scenarios.

Costco doesn't need to hoard because they have inventory they can sell or trade in a doomsday scenario
