Pricing rearrangements are excellent! Anyone sucking his teat quietly for the past 60 years is now under threat! Efficiencies will be extracted painfully and forcibly.

A day in the life of an agricultural super power is like this:

Hot debate in the senate about who is responsible for high rising costs. Very very healthy developments!

Government says, you want more food? We've got the land.
They say don't blame bio-fuels for high prices of food. We've got 850 million ha of agricultural land. We’re using 0.7% of the agriculture land for ethanol ONLY!

Blaming ethanol is intrigue from the oil companies

Problems is the cost of the fertilizer. That’s why we can’t crank up the production.
let’s get the culprits, the fertilizer producers. Bunge and Cargill says: we want to produce, gives the environmental license we are waiting for ages. (See! They should blame themselves to believe in crap like environmentalism! This is for California. Not to Brazil!) But they are learning: They kicked out environment minister last week.

Now gives the fertilizer. Bunge and Cargill says: Tell Petrobras to gives natural gas. Petrobras say: we are already giving natural gas but government make it cheaper for taxis to run on it.

(Sweet deals for buying votes Mr. TJ!)

Cargill and Bunge says: You see? Do you want to your Petrobras natural gas a fertilizer feed stocks or to drive taxis?

Agriculture minister once senate comes after him he said: we are going to comb the whole country and if we find a mine not being explored we willtake the license away and give it to whom wants to produce. That’s what pronts simpleton Elroy tro write about nationalization.

In 2006, farmer soy needed 28 sacas of the product to buy a ton of fertilizer. Em 2007, needs 35 bags per ton. The inputs into the production (fertilizer and defensives) is 55% of cost of production. He comes mineral salt: ainda citou o caso do sal mineral. In January 2007, a 30kg, bag of mineral salt fpr the cows cost R$ 26. In May2008, the same bag costs R$ 46.

(Someone is making gazillions of money on the back of the farmers!!)

Our sources are small and of low quality. Morocco has 21 billion ton potential of mineral salt. Brazil has ponly 268 million tons, and is low quality.

The senator – a lady- suggest cut import tariff of 10% on the mineral salt and the tax to fund the merchant navy (5%) to decrease the costs of production. She also defended manufacturing generic fertilizer and generic defensives (there goes respect for patents!) like we are doing with medicines and permission for private enterprise to invest in improvement and constrcuon of new harbors and get the state out o fit.

We can produce better if the government does its part, she said. The whole world is investing in hidroways and railways while we keep investing 80% of the PAC (program to accelerate growth) in roads tranpsort. Don't worry she completes: we’ve got the land and we’ve got the technlogy. We need infrastructure to export.

She is in fact attacking the trio of teat suckers: transport companies, road buildera and truckmakers who lobby for roads to the detriment of other means of transport.

this is very interesting!
