Wheat simply does not grow in the tropics (though as I pointed out elsewhere, the Brasilians are developing this).
- chrisco255 2y agoWheat is not an essential thing. It is useful in cold/temperate climates because it grows there and has an extremely long shelf life. But in the tropics you have fruits and vegetables growing year round including alternative carb sources like bananas, yucca, sugarcane, avocadoes, mangos, rice, etc.
