   Why do none of the supermarkets have my favorite chili tomato sauce any more?!

     It feels silly to order basic food items online, but that's what I do for popcorn kernels and red lentils too. Ordered three bottled of Maggi now.

     Free shipping! 😄

     @clacke I live in a different part of the country, so until recently I had no idea canada exported so much of the world's lentils!

     Canada: US$1.6 billion (47.2% of total lentils exports)
     Australia: $766.2 million (22%)
     Türkiye: $537.1 million (15.5%)
     United States: $162 million (4.7%)
     India: $68.8 million (2%)
     Kazakhstan: $58.1 million (1.7%)
     Russia: $55.1 million (1.6%)
     United Arab Emirates: $29.7 million (0.9%)
     Belgium: $22.5 million (0.6%)
     Netherlands: $17.6 million (0.5%)
     Myanmar: $10.3 million (0.3%)
     Egypt: $10.26 million (0.3%)
     Germany: $9.8 million (0.3%)
     Curaçao: $7.82 million (0.2%)
     Italy: $7.81 million (0.2%)

     By value, the listed 15 countries shipped 97.9% of globally exported lentils in 2022.

     @gemlog I have Waitrose lentils here, don't know if they grow them in the UK or if they perhaps import them from Canada and pack them in the UK, and I have lentils clearly marked as being Kazakh.

     @gemlog Yeah, I just got curious if mine were Canadian and the conclusion is I don't know but it seems likely. 😊

     @clacke Yes, the majority of the world's lentils come from all over - nearly 53%. I just find it astounding that canada supplies the rest.

     @gemlog "Mainly Eurasian" and the furthest west explicitly mentioned is Iceland:

     You *may* be right that you have them wild.

     @clacke There are other things not as good. For e.g. 4 largest suppliers of fossil fuels...
     But then blueberries :-)
     Not your swedish ones, but we do have those wild (I think they are the same ones).
