: Also, we can look at South America today where US agribusiness interests have farmers growing grapes and such things so they are available in the US marketplace when they are out of season, rather than the farmers being able to grow grain that is sorely needed in their countryI doubt these transactions are entirely mediated by private companies. I suspect a heavy political interest, perhaps from grain lobbyiers -to get rid off their huge surpluses. if it were private then I would consider that selling grapes and buying grain is more financially beneficial to these people than growing and buying grain themselves would be. If you are saying that grape farmers should b using the same land to feed people who wont be paying for grain then its another issue.

None.
