The Great Bean Shortage of 2023: A Year of Uncertainty
It's been 6 months since the Great Bean Shortage of 2023 began, and we're still waiting for a solution. Beans of all kinds have become a luxury item, with some varieties selling for triple their original price. The Bean Council of 2023 is working tirelessly to address the issue, but progress is slow.
Some of the main causes of the shortage include:
- Unprecedented demand from the rise of veganism
- A global pandemic that wiped out a significant portion of our bean farmers
- Trade wars and tariffs that have crippled international trade
- A freak accident at a major bean processing facility
What You Can Do To Help
While we can't change the situation overnight, here are some ways you can make a difference:
- Buy local, organic beans whenever possible
- Support local farmers and suppliers
- Promote the importance of bean conservation
- Donate to the Bean Council of 2023
