Stupid questions : - is sugar NOT a food with far more calories than corn ????? - is Brazil not ready to produce very shortly biodiesel from SOYABEANS, and is soyabean not a FOOD WITH MORE PROTEINS THAN CORN ?????? In my view Brazilians swim in their muddy juice !!!!! And be smart, if someone truly believe in Brazil agriculture, just buy stocks such as John Deere, Caterpillar, Montsanto, Syngenta just to name a few. What could Brazil do without these companies ? SIMPLE !!!!! - ch.c.

The latest attempt to revive the Doha Development Round of the World Trade Organization ended in bitter recriminations as the United States refused to lower its trade-distorting farm subsidies. Laughable people like you. You're talking about those "subsudies" to american farmers that make it possible for them to compete against countries like Brazil that not only "subsidize" their farmers in the form of incredible low interest rate loans, interest rates that NO ONE else can get, but compete against a workforce that is making one of the lowest minimum wages on planet earth and also has approximately 30,000 slave laborers! Why doesn't the U.S. just obtain a policy of "reciprocity" with each and every country it does business with?? Afterall, that would only be fair, wouldn't it? So we'll get rid of the farm subsidies for brazil, with the exception of nearly 0 percent interest loans, but we'll tax the shit out of any brazilian import to the tune of 100%!!! Fair enough? - bo Sat, 07 Jul 2007 09:58:02 +0100
