Food prices are a product of seller not being able to command the right price for produce and the buyer being able to exploit the sellers inability to commond a better price. The answer is the farmers developing collective business enterprices ( without caste and kin prejudices as in India)and use collective bargaining power to do business, buy fertilizers,seed etc. This will help many farmers to demand better prices and better deals. Unity in strength. Farmers need to be financially educated to save and bargin better. Poverty continues due to most poor farmers suing the money they generate and taking loans that they cant repay for social situations such as weddings, birthof children, festivals.
