Higher prices mean more farming profits, which translate into more farm jobs and farm support jobs for the people of brasil. Higher prices for food translates into more production - food is a commodity. I think the biggest drawback is for the Amazon and other pristine areas, they will be turned into farmland. - Guest Fri, 02 Dec 2005 13:46:03 +0100 http://www.brazzil.com/2005-mainmenu-79/159-december-2005/9476.html#comment-9252 If there is a favorable WTO agreement for Brazil prices of food will go higher. By going higher, this creates inflation and less demand as food cost more. Higher prices will also make developed nations more competitive. Also if prices go higher, the many third world countries importers of food will be even poorer and and in hunger than they are today and will not buy more but less. Anyway you look at it this will not favor consumption in both rich and poor nations. The end result wil be LOWER NOT HIGHER PRICES. AND IF THE RESULT IS HIGHER PRICES, INFLATION WILL COMPENSATE THE HIGHER PRICES. Therefore it will be a zero sum game at best. Higher prices will also put the many poors non brazilian farmers even poorer than they are today. Higher prices has never been positive to developmenta and to reductions of poverty. - Guest Fri, 02 Dec 2005 06:03:22 +0100 http://www.brazzil.com/2005-mainmenu-79/159-december-2005/9476.html#comment-9251 of US$ their own agribusinesses and farmers with low interest rates. Regular borrowing rates are between 40 and 150 % per year, but with the BNDES, loans are given at between 6 and 10 % ! Therefore the rate difference is a SUBSIDISE !! A VERY LARGE SUBSIDIZE ! And in case of an agreement in the WTO, who will finance and pay for the many third world countries imports of agriculture ? Most of these lopans wont be repaid anyway. Will it be Brazil that will have to make the write offs or again the developed nations ? Because if not, Brazil will sell food at a higher price to the third world and the financing and finally the non payment will have to be absorbed by the developed nations ! Common sense, business or politics cannot work that way ! Will Brazil be responsible for world hunger ? How can Brazil pretends to be the world\'s garden and still have so much hunger and poverty in their own country. Numbers dont add up ! - Guest Fri, 02 Dec 2005 05:36:40 +0100
