Uh yeah, this was Del Monte’s business model.

The issue is that the company that owns the canning plants (Del Monte) went bankrupt. There is no canning capacity available to do this.

How did you possibly miss the point by this far? It’s like trying to drive to Los Angeles and ending up on Pluto.

The government would step in and take over operations. This is why we don't need profit-driven companies responsible for food supply. By all means let Del Monte's managers try their hand in some other industry if they couldn't make it work (or not, because they couldn't make it work).
