Since 21 April, the cost per hundred kilograms has risen from approximately €2.11 to a staggering €18.50.

€2.11 for 100kg seems ridiculously cheap.

I've seen advice on this very web zone that the cheapest possible way to stock your pantry is to take a barrel out to your nearest bean farmer and pay him fifty bucks to load it up from his silo. It's 20x more than he'd get paid for the amount you take and you get fifty gallons of dry beans to tide you through the end of the world.
