1. The North – South 1.2 B$ corridor but is the % benefits to:

1.1 Rural poor with no roads/transport to get produce to markets
1.2 Commercial transporters ferrying farm produce from foreign commercial
farmers farming on African land
2. Wheat rust – very very few rural poor farmers grow this crop in Africa
and what is the %ntage of wheat products in the rural poor diet?
3. Drought resistant maize will no doubt require fertiliser which is not
readily available in rural areas – you should be putting this money
in improving rural farming agricultural practices
4. Staple foods can make sufficient natural vitamins with the correct
agricultural practices

In a nutshell the rural poor benefit little from the monies being provided by DFID – the beneficiaries are too numerous but not the RURAL POOR – they are included just to make it easier to get funding for these grandiose projects with little benefit to the POOR
