Pasta lovers must brace to pay even higher prices for their favorite dish, as megacorporate greed reduces supplies

Fixed that for you.

Yeah even the article admits they're not even trying to produce as much durum wheat as they have been in the past, yeah, there's some drought and stuff but it's not really to blame for this because our agriculture system knows the risks of drought and should be able to compensate. What's happening is artificial scarcity. Our whole agricultural system is broken. Its priorities are fucked by quotas and subsidies and its in large companies interests to keep things fucked so they can profit. The days of the family farmer are gone, the whole food supply chain has just turned into yet another oligopoly that wants to bleed everyone of as much money as they possibly can.
