“That’s the problem with agriculture. There’s no networking. When I was there a couple of years ago they had a bumper crop everywhere from the Capital south and west. Every year from the Capital south and east seems like there’s a famine in the Horn of Africa. They have plenty of food there but they didn’t have the storage, they didn’t have the transportation, they didn’t have the kinds of facilities they needed to move where they could…. the food from where it could be grown to where it was needed. So they have to depend on everybody else to ride to the rescue. We need to work more on agriculture self sufficiency, in Africa, Southeast Asia, and every poor country in the world.”
