To avoid food wastage at the production stage, farmers mut be advised on when to plant and how uch to plant because there have been reported instances of farmers' crops gone to waste due to over-production and poor market conditions.  For instances, there was a time when apples were left to rot on trees and dropped off trees covering the ground because of glut and poor prices, such that merchants didn't go to buy them; what a waste!  In a good year, farmers rushed in to plant huge acreage of crops but when time come to harvest, demand dropped off and there were few buyers!

Very unkind remark of yours!  Chinese don't eat cats, if that's what you are implying!  Who gave you tha silly idea, or is that another QAnon conspiracy theory?

A bakery in Jiangsu was given order to correct under the Food Wastage Law, for discarding fresh croissant not baked to right shape.  Inspectors found discarded food in waste bin were fresh and edible after public complaint.  Who says the law is ineffective?  It sure has plenty of teeth!

Maybe the cats turned up on the menu.

It is said in china there are at least 10 percents of grains wasted due to the poor storage condition after harvesting season. Beside the roadside not far away from my home-village，piles of wheat or corn are in the open air what that businessman has bought from the local farmers.  He just covers a big sheet of plastic-paper over the ‘hill’ to deal with raining! He has run the business in that way for years. I do wish a large workshop would be built to save more grains.

Haha, no cat was around, it all went down the drain, washed away, sheer wastage!!  The law on wastage MUST be strictly enforced.  Human greed is hard to explain; those consumers who squatted by the drain peeling of the bottle caps and pouring the contents into the drain, were looking for that prize QR code, not the milk!

Was that a black cat or a white cat that was supposed to lap up all of that milk?
