Peanut Oil

Is there an explanation for why I can no longer find Peanut Oil on the shelves of my local supermarkets! Is there a shortage of peanuts! An oil crisis, maybe!

Some times it has migrated to the oriental shelves

Same here. Have tried the last three weeks of countdown online shopping and it doesnt recognise the product.

I have just done a little research and it would seem that drought in the USA and Senegal is responsible for a shortage of peanuts this year, and this in turn has led to a 49% increase in the price of peanuts.

I can only buy it in New World here in Nelson.

There will be shortages of almost everything soon: wheat, soy, peanuts, cocoa, sugar, corn . etc

So this may be the time to dig a little garden to at least supplement your food bills - if you cannot be self sufficient.
