Any country that pretend to develop and keep some independence need to prioritize a minimum of food production. That's a strategic need. Europe is a good example of that, where food production is strongly protected. I bet is the same in the States. The point of the original post is that those "independent actors" are not "independents", not from Ethiopia.
