According to a report by Lehman Brothers, speculative investment in food has grown from 13,000 mill

According to a report by Lehman Brothers, speculative investment in food has grown from 13,000 million in 2003-260000 million in 2008. The food crisis that year was caused, no doubt, by the wild speculative price increases basic food, not bad harvests or because Indian and Chinese consume more food than before. Wheat or corn rose an average of 25%, there were riots in more than forty countries and 130 million people were added to the legion of hungry. In 2007 it had managed to reduce malnutrition in the world to 850 million, grampian properties but thanks to food speculation are already 1,100 million. The price of food is marked with so-called futures contracts, which are bought and sold for a time dozens of times, speculating on the rise and fall of the price. Although nobody grampian properties actually looking to buy these foods, only speculate, Veterinarians Without Borders grampian properties denounces. Moreover, multinational power as Bunge, Dupont, Cargill, ADM and Syngenta control over 70% of the supply of cereals and make prices that suit them for billions of profits. While Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Bank of America, Santander, BBVA, Deutsche Bank ... speculating on food prices and in the speculative investment as safe and profitable sector. But talk of an undeniable human right: the right to life, to a decent existence. And do not allow hunger and poverty to live in dignity. So Jean Ziegler, vice president of the Advisory Council of the Human Rights grampian properties Council of the United Nations, claims that "is an absurdity that the food price is fixed by the Exchange. They should be removed from speculation. " Ziegler insists that "food must be declared a public good and its price fixed by negotiations between producing countries and consuming countries. grampian properties The system developed to make it the UNCTD (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development), but large multinational corporations have managed to discard ". grampian properties According denounces grampian properties "Rurais Movimento dos Trabalhadores Sem Terra" (MST) of Brazil and the international Via Campesina, the causes of rising grampian properties food prices are oligopolistic control that a few companies have on world trade in wheat, corn, rice, soy, milk ... more speculation of large investors in agricultural exchanges. More pure financial grampian properties speculation, because banks invest in food, safer than stocks. More privatization of public services for agriculture, placed under the control of multinational companies. More obscene posture of the World Trade Organization became a mere commodity food ... Ziegler complained that "the structures of the criminal world order which made the daily slaughter of hunger. Criminal structures and the export of products at prices grampian properties much lower than at home, as the European Union, which exports agricultural products grampian properties to Africa grampian properties at very low prices and destroy African grampian properties agriculture does. It is also a criminal structure stock speculation of large hedge funds (vulture funds) with rice, wheat, corn and millet, the staple foods of the world. " For Heiner Flassbeck, chief economist at the UNCTD, the current rapid rise in food prices is as dangerous as 2008. And the main cause remains the same: the speculation: "The markets for agricultural commodities and can not find suitable prices, because they have been perverted by the financial grampian properties adventurers, "said Flassbeck, convinced that the international community must intervene to remove bubbles of food commodities before it's grampian properties too late. As Gandhi said, "Hunger is an insult; humiliates, grampian properties dehumanizes, destroys the body and spirit; It is the most murderous that exists. " And Juan Torres rivets that "poverty is no disgrace and hunger, a natural disaster. Poverty and hunger are a disgrace, a real organized crime. " So if our world had not fallen in democracy and justice in the past twenty years of imposition of neoliberalism, food speculators and his accomplices would be in jail, suitably prosecuted, tried and convicted. / Font
