They were already talking about massive food shortages in China. Is this due to central planning or is something else going on.

In effect, we're funding it. Money doesn't create water, so they'll have to truck it it. It's like our Californian farm land that hasn't a drop. If only we could just turn on a tap and get it to flow... /s

$1 billion??
That’s pocket change - it wouldn’t even cover bureaucratic overhead if this were a Democrat program here......

So, limits on exports so wheat stays reasonable here.
And adjustments due to foreign currency manipulations.
What's export wheat these days, $300 a bushel? And corn about $250 so we can have plenty of ethanol and still afford corn on the cob and beef? At least with the corn you can always ship them ethanol to eat.
And as an aside, does anyone know if the Three Gorges Dam project could end up like Aswan has, making things worse not better?
Regards
