Yes, it does. There have been substantial environmental concerns raised concerning Brazilian agricultural production, particularly as respects the Amazon. These are long standing and serious.

We need to put post-communist collective farming into the right perspective. It is wrong to compare a former communist state and put it on par with other producers outside the former COMECOM. State and collective farms were officially dismantled in 2000. In 8 years is not time enough to transform former communist farming into market oriented enterprises. These are facts. And they can be backed up and substantiate. I have the time to dig to prove my points. Now my high level analysis as master of wayo in the thread. What is really happening is that Ukrainian land owners, (after 2000) you know similar types as those who own oil gas in Russia, are trying to entice the Carranzas 2 of this world to think that country is a Brazil in the budding. Then they go there and enter with their Moolah. You know what happens with those? They will be fleeced and will return to cry over their beers. See BP and Shell recently for a picture of a fleeced chicken.

Europeans are the main candidates for fleecing. Romenia is hard at work bringing in Italians to plant rice. Land prices have soared to 1,000 euros per hectare from 200 euros five years ago, but they are still six times lower than in Italy. khaleejtimes.com Ukranians are salivating for these Europeans coming with their bulging wallets... Agricultural system in Ukraine is characterized as instable. Now Ukrainian government tries to realize Main Agriculture Law, according to which it will be possible to buy and sell land and also to rent land for long period. This law will increase in agriculture much and will allow foreign investors to organize farms with the highest productivity and profit. Owners, which do not use bigger part of their land, will be able to sell it. It will be very useful for both foreign investors and Ukrainian government. nodai.ac.jp
