** The economic and financial doom and environmental collapse doom / news has many people very nervous about future food supplies. Food demand remain at an all-time high, this is much worse then last year by far. Many countries (over 65 now) are facing severe food shortages and are driving up wholesale prices and buying millions of tons of food supplies worldwide. We are seeing serious times ahead!

Declining global food production, is significantly down this year (again) according to published reports. We have no control over volume or developing shortages occuring now throughout the world. Wholesalers are reporting the complete and total disappearance of some items and we've seen stock levels decline precipitously this year (again) already. Crop disasters are occurring throughout the world, driving up demand and prices.

Please make sure your order is accurate. All orders must be placed through our shopping cart to ensure accuracy, or sent via US mail. You can simply print out the shopping cart payment page (page 3) and mail this in to "Jade Enterprises" if paying through the mail. Instructions on how to do this via mail are found on the shopping cart payment page. This is our merchant account.

Shipping times are NOT guarantees - they are simply estimates for new orders now being sent in. We try to be as accurate as we can, and update this page every few days. Older orders are still subject to the shipping times estimates at the time they were ordered. Ship times change according to product availability and volume, which remains extremely high. We are as honest as we can about what is really happening with the canneries we deal with and their order volume. Order cancellations for any reason are subject to our order policies.

For years, we have steadily been warning the general public on our blog that global demand for global food will outstrip the available supply. This is now happening worldwide, over 80 countries are now in severe food crisis (this number has gone up every few months), with starvation conditions now killing thousands per month. This situation will not get any better, ever. Food shortages are now occurring all over the entire world.

The latest economic news is very bad. We are now expecting a total collapse of the financial system. The main stream media is churning out conflicting reports on this, but the main theme is "down, down, down" with last quarter 2009 throughout 2010 to be a world wide depression. We are now into 2011 and the financial doom continues to worsen dramatically. Additionaly, consumer goods including food are spiking tremendously in demand on a global level and prices are increasing as people flee the failing economic systems worldwide and seek to provide themselves with some levels of basic and essential protection.

Oil is also very volatile, bouncing all over the map on price. We are now being told that by 2015 that there will be catastrophic oil shortages all over the world with extreme price volatility. Mexican oil imports (our 2nd largest importer in the U.S.) is in serious irreversible decline (Cantarell oil field), is now already at 50% decline since 2004 (and accelerating). We expect this to cause significantly higher fuel and transportation prices once again. Petroleum decline is also happening in oil fields all over the world. Food IS oil -- we cannot farm, fertilize, produce, ship or distribute even 10% of the world's food supply without abundant cheap oil. This means famines are going to become a very real part of life on Earth. The temporary price drop in oil as of today is TEMPORARY.

We expect oil prices (and food) to go much higher (again) as we continue to deplete global energy supplies. Price increases last year were over 54% already. This, combined with global drought conditions means food shortages are now a fact of life in some nations, and already severe in over 47 countries (last count) and worsening, month by month. In other words, food prices will never be this cheap again. We suggest you order sooner rather then later, while availability (and cannery demand) is still relatively good.

Expect to see prices continue to climb as the global crisis deepens (on everything). Global food reports reveal huge price increases on staples, grains, dairy and most consumable commodities. This is happening worldwide. Projections are for much higher fruit and vegetable costs this year. Shipping rates jumped, again and again, production of petroleum and world wide outputs continues to fall as energy resources decline (the ongoing credit crisis is also impacting this quite largely). Food production (agriculture), transportation, processing and packaging is highly dependent upon oil. As oil declines, prices increase, dramatically.

Prepare today, for tomorrow's crisis. Most storable foods will last several decades, making this a wise investment today.
