For farmers in the developing world, geography is not destiny - Daily chart: ACCORDING to the UN, German farmers grew 7,200kg (15,873 lbs) of cereal crops for every hectare of land in 2016. Overall, farming is 0.6% of the German economy. Meanwhile, in Mozambique, which depends on agriculture for 25% of its GDP, farmers grew just 820kg per hectare, a little more than one-tenth of Germany’s yield.
This is a barbaric sophism, there is no correlation between purchasing power and cost. In poor countries, the use of high technology would make prices soar up to the point that no one could afford them.
