Continuation of discussion about IC-Rheinland conflict

[DarthBindo]

Right now, sustain for a long period of time, nope they can't.
For a short period, yes they do. And once there is no competitor(like if synth gonna bail from rhein) for a short period of time they could... atleast to not make starve majority of population... and in few months(3-4) their production gonna skyrock.... since alien organisms already integrated on Junyo. And integrating into Kyushu.

With a sudden increase (especially such a ridiculously large increase as taking on all of Rheinland's food supply), it's not an issue of production, but of stockpiling.
The idea that Samura has enough food (fresh food too, since i believe they dont produce crap like synthpaste) stockpiled to fulfill all of Rheinland's needs for any longer than a week or two is ludicrous.
Could production be ramped up quickly? Yes.
Most companies can dramatically increase production quite easily, but here's the thing.
They don't, beacuse there's no successful business venture in the world that has current excess capacity, beacuse excess capacity is wasted effort.
If a plant produces twice the product that gets bought in a month, they don't build a warehouse to store all the extra product in, they switch to half-hours or lay off half their workers.
You've got it almost completely backwards. Samura, with a concerted effort and the demand and credits from Rheinland to do so, could definitely expand production enough to cover two houses indefinitely.
The long-term is not the issue, but rather the short term, before Samura can put into place the extra facilities, yet after Synth has already torched everything.
