There are eight varieties of Dijon mustard available to me for 2-hour delivery by Amazon Fresh right now in Miami. Five of them are made in France. Fake news?

> There is a shortage of Dijon mustard *in France*

Because they’re exporting it all to Miami? This story makes no sense.

I'm not sure what's confusing about regional shortages.

it's not unusual for exports to take priority over the local market since the former is often more lucrative;

also, there probably aren't as many people in Miami buying Dijon mustard as in France ...
