RUSSIA at the UN Security Council: "The four agricultural giants, three of which are American (Archer Daniels Midland, Bunge, and Cargill) and one Dutch (Louis Dreyfus)... account for 75% to 90% of global agricultural turnover. In fiscal year 2022, Cargill alone boosted its sales volume by 23% (to $165 billion) with a record-high net profit of $5 billion.
Let’s ask ourselves why, against super profits of Western agricultural operators, the threat of hunger affects developing nations with growing populations the most. Why are their economies failing to cope with it?
The answer is simple.
In the past, Western colonizers purposefully “moulded” them in a specific way so they could effect the largest possible profits for the colonial power. Making them capable of feeding their own population was not a goal. They were forced to do a monoculture land use, which was the reason why their exports today mostly rely only on one or two types of products. This type of economy makes them very dependent on fluctuating prices at global food markets.
The present-day instability is explained by the fact that during the COVID-19 pandemic, Western states rushed to save their economies without giving a second thought how their ill-considered steps in the financial, economic, and other areas would affect the most vulnerable chains of the global economy."
