Re:Italy Braces for Pasta Inflation Amid Soaring Durum Wheat... by derbOac on Saturday September 11, 2021 @09:40AM (#28491891)
So... as a pasta-loving American, wouldn't this affect us as well? I understand markets can be different but they're talking about Canadian wheat exports, not Italian domestic production.

There are news sites dedicated to agricultural news that have articles about US wheat production, which includes durum. The forecasts don't look positive.

I’m honestly surprised that pasta-creating Italy is somehow dependent on Canada for their wheat, to the point where it’s causing inflation.
