Ökade livsmedelspriser måste i det långa loppet vara bra för dagens U-Länder. Det land som idag har världens lägsta BNP är väl Malawi:

Citat:
Agriculture represents 38.6% of the GDP, accounts for over 80% of the labor force, and represents about 80% of all exports. Nearly 90% of the population engages in subsistence farming. Smallholder farmers produce a variety of crops, including maize (corn) [2], beans, rice, cassava, tobacco, groundnuts (peanut) and coffee. The agricultural sector contributes about 63.7% of total income for the rural population, 65% of manufacturing sector’s raw materials, and approximately 87% of total employment.[citation needed] Financial wealth is generally concentrated in the hands of a small elite. Malawi's manufacturing industries are situated around the city of Blantyre.
Borde rimligtvis vara en fördel med högre livsmedelspriser för Malawi.
