I promise I don't mean this as a cop out, but "it depends".
There are all sorts of solutions ranging from "hey I've got a food processor I don't need" to "we need to build a food processor factory" and a million options in between. The solution is going to depend on a lot of factors like how scarce they are, how important the need is to the community, how readily they're substituted, etc. I can't imagine the solution is the same in Toronto as it would be in Old Crow.
