"Global Cereal production and demand still appear in balance, '', '' King concluded there is no indication of an alley world food crisis."Lazy thinking, '' said-Douwe van der Ploeg, teachers rural sociologie in Wageningen University in the Netherlands. "Nearly 1 million people hungry and another 1 billion they chronique evil, while 1 billion
others press. Don't eat a crisis? Food lover, but 50 years on the phenomenon and permanent. " After the food crisis we face a severe crisis agrarian, '' he said. "Farmers have plus and plus battle of survival and lower prices and the collapse of markets. This is a paradox. for consumers, prices keep rising, but later, prices down for investment. " Where the difference go so that they? "Food empires," van der Ploeg. "On the market more dominated by industriels-commercial conglomérats, like Ahold, Nestlé, Cargill, and a number of other Administration, production, processing, and food consumption. Empires that cannot control markets and squeeze in agriculture wealth regime, the disequilibria in the sense of a great fluctuations in prices. " Empires not usually own resources. But control network. "Both farmers and consumers depending on entry points and point out.They can set up standards and prices. "Government named on not to distort markets
Then, libéraliser commercial, but empires is and distort the market, he said van der Ploeg. "If it is financial interest had become asparagus,
chicken, beans or green flowers in the land of poor they gave him of wealth, and made him, even if there is not necessarily the starving. That is not good for the poor, Anoesjka Aspeslagh, spokesman for the separate market Dutch Ahold of the multinational. '' We request to create thousands of jobs, and income for people who are in-country. Especially because we cooperate very closely with producers to improve conditions in work and living conditions. " Van der Ploeg points for side effects. "Peru, for example, has turned into the biggest exportateur asparagus in the world., however, very desertous, then local residents defeat needed for streams of water. Besides, the situation is not stable. Now already déplacement asparagus production to China. " Aspeslagh not accept changed. '' We can't get powerful after thinking.You have not put prices and conditions, we are of all men like subject to the market for Government policy like a man; for this reason, in the interests of both our producers to build stable relations and both agree on price: If China became cheaper, you don't move the two a soudaine. It is not so work. '' Supermarchés came Yet most powerful players in the middle of food empires, '' said Myriam Vander Stichele, former officers seek Center.
Research on multinational corporations in Amsterdam. "Homage to play a stronger role as gatekeeper between the client and the process industry. For example, the banana multinationales may put prices and Court agreement nowadays. in addition to a number of supermarchés now become the lowest-cost as well, so that they did more powerful. " Powers, not only economic but also political. "Lobby like hell against regulators plus, '' said Stichele. It is a really good regulation on lack of agreement between supermarchés and other companies. " Air force food empires critical, said van der Ploeg, because the only interest is cash flow. "They have to pay debt, not creating to acquire other companies and segments monopoliser country on dog food and equipment.Expansion pack is-clé. this Bill will make some companies near to stumble on their own, not as Parmalat. "Powerful Italian food was left a total debt of € 14 billion; The imperial, or "restructuring, '' regime food touch later. Empires lines industrial food yourselves, to be more Standard and constructions. However, not only is this industrial exploitations often less productive and less efficient than the exploitations, replacing are like extremely susceptible to be economic. "Companies are highly dependent on stability, easy credit and growth to be, '' said van der Ploeg. ''Then disparaît, as now, the case. '' Government and researchers in a hurry to call on technologique to production, especially in developing countries. "Almost and in solution simpliste. They see that the high-technology systems are the very
contributions, go to the right. " Difference between peasants like him and told him to grow, says van der Ploeg. know "Fortunately, more and more farmers that it is more than products products. They went in search of a integrated approach, and become less multifonctionnel depending on artificial resources. "This is a trend in developed and developing countries in the same way. " In Western Europe has been creating multifonctionnel billions of euros of value ajouté, in a sector which stagnates.In Brazil is the same.While some exploitations keep one bigger, the number of small exploitations added two 3.4.6 to 2 million dollars in the last eight years. '' This is a very important process, according to current van der Ploeg, warned that food empires have the future. "Law Court they undermine the agriculture need.It is very dangerous, but eventually will come.
