Why are transnational food giants involved in Africa's food crisis?

Recommended Posts

There is a voice that it is transnational food giants that destroyed the original food trading market in Africa through lower prices and more attractive subsidies. Although African farmers saw a significant increase in their direct income in the short term, they soon found themselves having to spend more money on food. 


We call on transnational food giants to help African people to tide over the difficulties with their market and technological advantages. By lowering food prices and donating food to specific areas, transnational food giants can help avoid a more serious humanitarian crisis.

Imagine you put your grain on a truck and drive west. Look at food companies’ profits.  Look who profits.  Follow the money.

For $5 of food, the US grain merchant makes $2, and the US government makes $2.
