Africa, food capacity, and infrastructure

I've spent a decent amount of time in Central and Southern Africa. I've flown, for hours, in a heli over virgin forest.

You know what that forest is?

It's the new Grain Belt of the world.

The G20 just put out a communique stating their intention to invest in INFRASTRUCTURE to enable the DEVELOPMENT of AGRICULTURE in Africa.

Boy, to own a cement factory in DRC... profitable!

The US is throwing everything it can at China, now, including tariffs. Geithner's back is to the wall.
