Well, it's summer and the harvest, such as it is, is coming. I have a strong hunch this is going to get very much worse before it gets better.
The EU can help by rescinding its anti-GM grain policy. If it does not the U.S. can't help the Zimbabweans and it's going to be a tough sell to make the U.S. out to be the bad guy when the starvation sets in, even in Brussels and Paris.
I echo your feelings here Bill. Starting up the "breadbasket" again will be chaotic and slow. One would think the successful farmers who fled will think twice about taking up stake in Zimbabwe again... I know I would.
