What exactly do you want to say? Can you express yourself in English! It seems you are thinking in Makonde and trying to translate into English. In a few sentences or just in one sentence say what you mean. Anyway! You have tried to say something😛opcorn:we shouldnt equate bumper harvests with lack of hunger. several countries in the middle east that grow almost nothing are hunger free. many european countries import food to satisfy local demands.
when a farmer grows food, he needs to be compensated for the cost he incurred and get a small profit on top.
if a government has no money to buy surplus produce from farmers and redistribute it to those going hungry, then market forces take over and export becomes the only economically sensible option.
those who cant afford to buy food therefore remain hungry no matter how much food the country produces.
