"Arab Countries Continue to Rent Land Abroad to Insure Food Security
04/30/2010

The spike in the prices of grains in 2008 prompted the oil producing Arab countries, which have limited water and arable land, to rent lands abroad to satisfy their demand and improve food security. The recent glut in wheat on the international market has not diminished the appetite of these countries to find more suitable land to use for the production of grains, mainly wheat. Sudan remains the most attractive target for many countries, including South Korea and China.

Saudi Arabia has rented land in Egypt and Sudan and is looking for similar arrangements in Algeria. Libya has signed an agreement to rent 100,000 hectares in Ukraine but that agreement has not been carried out as yet. Libya is also cultivating land in Mali.

[News reports earlier in the week indicated that Saudi Arabia is looking to rent land in New Zealand.]

BreadWinner, how far south of Elfros? We are about 10 miles south along 35.

[BreadWinner]

GregPet We live 5 miles north of Elfros and the most rain has been about 4 miles south of Mozart. I dont even have to ask how things are going for you down there, impossible is the best way to explain it. Next year is looking bad.

Don't you guys just wish that the old GRIP program was working right now? I remember when it saved my bacon many years ago.

I had to wait to the end of January for the money but at least I survived. These natural disasters should be covered by a comprehensive program...where are your smart politicians when you need 'em.

Oh, I forgot, they're not in election mode so their brains are turned off.

Actually it should read 4 this morning as it still raining in our area and the week ahead looks frucked. Ah at least its a warm rain.

[mcfarms]

warm rains sprout wheat and chit malt barley worse than cold rains.

[SASKFARMER3]

It was a joke, I know that. Sprouting in brotherinlaws swath barley was huge that was sat before the big rain event.

This year wouldn't be complete without some swather ruts to go with the sprayer ruts, wash outs, water runs, oh and the mid-slope sink holes. Good thing it's just the banks money. haha
