Tyson Foods chairman warns 'the food supply chain is breaking'
-The chairman of Tyson Foods is warning that "millions of pounds of meat will disappear" from the national food supply chain as the coronavirus outbreak forces food processing plants to shutter.
"The food supply chain is breaking," John Tyson wrote in a full-page advertisement published Sunday in The New York Times, The Washington Post and the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
There will be limited supply of our products available in grocery stores until we are able to reopen our facilities that are currently closed," he wrote in the advertisement, which was also published as a blog post on the company's website.
In recent weeks, the major poultry producer has suspended operations at plants across the country. The company halted operations Wednesday at an Iowa plant that is crucial to the nation's pork supply.
"Millions of animals — chickens, pigs and cattle — will be depopulated because of the closure of our processing facilities," he added.
...Tyson isn't the only company to shutter plants. Smithfield Foods, the world's largest pork processor, has temporarily closed plants across the country...

l mean people are still buying food and meat. I don't get it. Unless it's the drop in demand because restaurants aren't using as much.

Could be just that. Retailers and restaurants use entirely different distribution channels.
Same thing with toilet paper, there is no "shortage", it,s just that the retail supply chain is strained. Commercial TP is a whole different market/distribution model.

I read a week or so ago this was probably the reason. Also, workers who are sick.

I smell a rat with all of this, I think the rat is the Chinese Communist Party who in all likelihood control these plants.
