October 2009 - Africa, breadbasket for a new world ?

Food prices have been on the rise globally � to the dismay of many a consumer and government official who is trying to keep voters happy and fed. The recent spate of anti-competitive actions against large South African food companies and comments from various consumer groups about the continuing rise of food prices have in many cases been attributed to greedy retailers and collusion by large food companies.

非洲–是否一个新世界的面包篮子？

全球食物价格不断上涨 - 令到很多消费者和为讨好选民，让他们吃得饱的政府官员受到惊愕。最近一连串针对南非多间大型食物企业的反兢争行动，再加上多个保障消费者组织的批抨，反对物价上涨，都是指责贪心无良的零售商与大型食物生产商串谋控制物价。虽然谚语有道「无火不生烟、无风不起浪」，但是眼看这一、两年的事件，不能完全归咎在「市场操纵」的理论上。有名的经济论学者阿当、史密夫先生称谓的「无型之手」的确在全球的农业、粮食和物料价格制度内无间断地操动经济。所以南非和非洲国民应该尽快看准时机，准备迎接供求规律这个挑战。
