According to foreign media news, in the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and other European countries, people have begun to hoard food, a large number of supermarkets have been emptied, and people are looking for food, oil, bread and other daily necessities to hoard. In fact, this kind of scene is quite common in Europe, but it is not a "New Year", but a not very good social behavior, experts call it a "panic" hoarding tide.
First, why do Europeans frantically rush to buy daily necessities, especially some grain and edible oil? Because under the influence of the global situation, Europe is a concentrated area of import and export trade, and many products rely on imports. At present, many countries have begun to stop exporting and give priority to the supply of domestic consumables. This led to the fact that the price of "goods" in Europe began to rise quietly, and the population was very sensitive to this, and one dollar of bread today became five yuan tomorrow. This situation of increasing the price of multiple foods at the same time made people panic and worry about their wallets, so they began to rush to buy raw materials.
For example, the most snapped up is "sunflower oil", because Europe's sunflower oil is mainly imported, nearly half of the global market comes from Ukraine, and the other 21% comes from Russia. At the same time, sunflower oil is also a frequently used raw material on the European table. Although there are alternative products, the public will definitely give priority to the products that are more widely used. Based on the list of Europeans rushing to buy, it can be concluded that in the following period, sunflower oil will fall into a state of scarcity.
Third: Why do Europeans always like to "hoard goods" and panic at the slightest disturbance? The main reason is that they are highly dependent on imports, and Europe is such a small place, dozens of countries live in it, and the land resources are limited, so many foods need to be imported. When you are sure that you can't produce yourself, it's natural to be more scared. To give a very simple example, a farmer is not afraid of starvation, because he knows in his heart that the crops will ensure his livelihood.
Why don't office workers dare to take leave easily? It's not because they are worried about "deducting money" and causing their lives to be insecure. The same reason is the same, if office workers have a meal every day, I believe that many people will not care so much about the problem of leave. Europeans are panicked because they don't know what their country is like, so they often take precautions.
