I read a disturbing article in the paper today that African farmers don't believe they will see any improvement in their lives even if we remove subsidies to our agri-businesses. (Let's not confuse them with farmers). They claim all monetary support will end up in the hands of a corrupt government.
I agree with the removal of the subsidies because they didn't go to the small family farms for which they were intended. It would appear that the family farms of Africa realize the same.
