Mr Auguste Kouame-World Bank: Gulf Public Investment in Agriulture

It is really not logical that wealthy Japanese, S.Korean and Gulf countries are investing big amounts in agricultural projects in Africa, Pakistan, India, Latin America and Australia to secure food. They buy the best land cheap, and deny the poor local farmers the chance to grow food and market abroad.

Nonsense, what security? This creates a new issues of ownership and these projects are doomed. Better buy from these countries, and their farmers; assist in quality control, packaging and transport. And pay good prices. YOU WILL HAVE TOTAL FOOD SECURITY FOR A LONG TIME.
