things that caught my eye - (bold mine)
The deal to store 30,000 tons of grain was signed by agriculture and food minister Geir Pollestad and four private companies. The wheat, that will belong to the Norwegian government, will be stored by the companies in facilities across the country.
so, the govt owns it and in a crisis, you'll need to meet their criteria to get any of it I suppose.
And,
The oil-rich country, which has supported Ukraine, also houses the Global Seed Vault in its Svalbard archipelago, some 1,300 kilometers (800 miles) from the North Pole.
Since 2008, gene banks and organizations around the world have deposited nearly 1 million samples of seeds at the vault to back up their own collections in case of human-caused or natural calamities.

We all better have our own seed bank. If you depend on anyone else for anything, you are up the creek without a paddle.

I don't know what to make of this. Is Finland thinking a war with Russia would last long enough to need stored grains? Are they following the other European countries with their bluster about starting to draft young men?
All of this seems more like posturing and acting like they're ready to fight when in reality they're all nearly useless in a real war. Plus, Russia is already scraping the bottom of their barrel trying to man the Ukraine conflict, does Finland really believe Russia has any capability to fight elsewhere?
