What widening? Throughput at ports is within a few percent of where it has been.

The first derivative of food supply disruption is clearly positive. The exact value of the second is debatable, but I feel confident saying it is at least not clearly substantially negative. Slightly negative at best and I can't give a lot of evidence for that.
The sum total of that disruption has not yet burned through our buffer, though it has caused a noticeable rise in prices. However, it is not wise to wait for our buffer to be entirely gone before being willing to identify the problem.

It might be more than it was a month ago, but it seems to me that we had worse disruption earlier in the pandemic than we have right now.
