Norway starts stockpiling grain, citing pandemic, war and climate change

By Economic Times - 5 months ago
The Norwegian government signed a deal to stockpile 30,000 tons of grain as a precaution against crises like COVID-19, war, and climate change, aiming to have 82,500 tons by 2029 for three months' consumption. This decision follows recommendations after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, with Norway previously closing its grain storage sites in 2003. The country also hosts the Global Seed Vault in Svalbard to safeguard seeds worldwide.
