Norway will begin to stockpile grains again in preparation for the “unthinkable” . . . World War 3.
The Scandinavian nation is preparing for an apocalyptic future, claiming the recent pandemic, climate change and the war in Ukraine made the move essential. Norway’s government signed a deal with four private countries to store 30,000 tonnes of grain in 2024 and 2025, reports SFGate.
Norway’s minister for agriculture and food, Geir Pollestad, said: “Building up a contingency stock of food grains is about being prepared for the unthinkable".

The nation’s finance minister Trygve Slagsvold Vedum added: “There should be an extra level of security in the event of major disruptions in the international trade systems or failure of national production. This is an important part of the government’s work to strengthen national preparedness.”
Norway will squirrel away wheat across existing facilities owned by the companies. Three of these companies will store at least 15,000 tonnes this year. The Norwegian government said the involved companies can invest in new facilities and decide for themselves where they store the emergency supplies, but they must make the grain available when it’s needed by the state.
The country aims to build up supplies until 2029, with the aim of stockpiling around 82,500 tonnes of gain by the end of the decade which will be enough to feed the Norway’s 5.6 million nationals for three months should a crisis arise.
This comes amid growing fears World War 3 is looming. Indeed, Norway set up a commission to evaluate its readiness for an emergency, which led to the grain stockpiling, after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.
Norway’s announcement follows the pact between Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong-un to help each other’s countries out in the event one nation falls under attack.
Although it is unclear what that help will look like, the Russian president called it a “bid to expand their economic and military cooperation and cement a united front against the US” and sets out that “mutual assistance” will be given “in the event of aggression against one of the parties”.
