unnecassary, what is non essential? Agriculture, business related to Agriculture, factories that process Ag? Are some items of AG considered non essential like Advocados, grapes, nuts, wine, bacon etc etc
It would be extremely subjective, because any fruits you'd think would be essential, it is only the way avocado is marketed that gives it a bad name. I don't eat it but my family has been well before it became what it is.
Unsalted, raw nuts are a recommended part of the diet. Beer nuts? Maybe not!!
Bacon has become a staple, but is not essential.
Wine would have to be a non-essential, even though it probably keeps a number of towns strong.
It sounds like you are in the wine industry Daisy?
More of a possibility would be rationing. Do people need one chop, two, three? Looking around, wouldn't hurt a few people.
