This is just a reminder of how much stuff we take for granted due to international trade. While one country's supply of something could be all but wiped out it is "unlikely" that several countries will lose their supply.

So while we do definitely see price increases, they aren't often in the order of a 100% increase as is this case.

Random question: How much can/do NK import from China? Is their ability to import limited by financials or has China limited food imports?

PS - I feel bad for the NK people. Nobody should literally starve. Unfortunately international aid is unlikely, charities are unlikely, and importing foods from non-China/Russia is extremely unlikely.
