Gavin, not quite following you, 
All I am saying, these countries arnt putting inputs into the land 
historically, until now, than means bigger crops for the future.  Bigger 
crops means more potential for honey production, along with investment 
into higher yielding crops, and more diversity in crops.  This will lead 
into having potential into producing whiter honeys as they start exploring 
into canola production aswell as soybean.
All speculation, but, bottom line, 
they are buying a tremendous amount of fertilizer.  Its the start.  no 
speculation of them getting into the biofuel market, jsut feeding the 
already hungry food market.
With the investment, they will produce higher quality products, 
then we are in trouble.
