Wheat Crop Shortages, T-Minus 10 Weeks...
Title Should Read;
Wheat Crop Shortages, T-Minus 10 Weeks... The world is only ten weeks away from running out of wheat supplies after stocks fell to their lowest levels for 50 years. The crisis has pushed prices to an all-time high and could lead to further hikes in the price of bread, beer, biscuits and other basic foods. It could also exacerbate serious food shortages in developing countries especially in Africa. The crisis comes after two successive years of disastrous wheat harvests, which saw production fall from 624m to 600m tonnes, according to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). Experts blame climate change as heatwaves caused a slump in harvests last year in eastern Europe, Canada, Morocco and Australia, all big wheat producers. Booming populations and a switch to a meat-rich diet in the developing world also mean that about 110m tons of the world's annual wheat crop is being diverted to feed livestock. Short term pressures have compounded the problem. Speculative buying by investors gambling on further price rises has further pushed up prices. Though shortages are often blamed on the use of land for biofuel crops, the main biofuel cereal crop is maize, not wheat. Farmers have brought millions of acres of fallow land into production and the FAO predicts that the shortages could be eliminated within 12 months. http://business.timesonline.co.uk/to...cle3423734.ece Your Thoughts?

the thing is that there are valid points to 'these' theories/facts but the almighty political and etc agendas take over in regards to the communication, or more appropriately, propaganda and marketing of what we are fed. It's frustrating to say the least. Mainly because it disables the masses from fully digesting the actual situation. Then again, that's how most of all shit comes through.
And it works...

Yes, Brazil is the next emerging economy. It's hardly even speculation now, more a given. You guys must be doing things right because Wall street has been giving you guys favorable reviews in all I've read so far.
