That would mean they are making other countries food cheaper as well.
- woile 4y agoThey have crippled many countries ability to produce food, see documentary: "Tomatoes and greed – the exodus of Ghana's farmers" Probably cheaper for some in the short term, but it means less food security, and potential growth
- mcv 4y agoThe real problem is how agriculture is being subsidised. I'm not sure how it currently is, but for a long time, it was simply production that was subsidised, leading to excessive overproduction, which was then dumped below market prices on the African market, driving farmers there out of business. Instead, these subsidies should be tied to sustainable agriculture. Support farmers by rewarding them for a cleaner, more sustainable business. Instead, many of these subsidies have gone to massive industrialised polluting megafarms.
