And China is experiencing a high rate of inflation right now, which is going to drive up the price of exported items all by itself.

Besides unpredictable climates the main reason for increasing shortages is increasing populations which raises demand. Countries such as China with a growing middle class want more meat which puts even more pressure on grain prices. None of this can work in reverse, barring an extinction event. I didn't say that.
