Well, it goes this way.....around 80-to-85 percent of all sunflower oil requirements in Germany....come from the Ukraine or Russia.
If you walk into any grocery operation....the shelves are bare for sunflower oil, and you might occasionally see where 'Huns' has put out a 20-pack case, and it's gone within ten minutes. Signs are up....one per customer.
Do Germans use much sunflower oil? An average couple might use two to three bottles per year. There are at least three or four alternates, so it's not that big of deal.
If you are a big salad freak (seven times a week)? Well....that couple might be using a bottle a month.
I don't see it as a big deal.
Now....the flour situation? Bakers being interviewed on Germa TV suggest their products (at this pace) will double by the end of 2022, and that might become a big deal. I stepped into a shelving area last week, where it was strictly the lower grade flour left, and the price had jumped 10-percent in six weeks.
