You're talking about on of the most subsidised matkets on Earth. It's hardly market-driven.
- imtringued 6y agoYeah and that is by design. We consider famines as simply unacceptable and thus we make sure that the agriculture sector works, even when it shouldn't. Compare that to countries who are dependent on food imports for basic nutrition. They simply aren't doing nearly as well as the EU or USA.
