The economic consequences of the German occupation of Norway 1940–1945 were severe. Germany became the main trading partner, but could not make up for the lost import and export business. Combined with a general drop in productivity, Norwegians were quickly confronted with scarcity of basic commodities, including food. Many, if not most, Norwegians started growing their own crops and keeping their own livestock. Gray and black market provided for flow of goods. Norwegians also learned to use ersatz products (substitute/replacement goods, erstatningsvarer) for a wide variety of purposes, ranging from fuel to coffee, tea, and tobacco.
