So what is interesting to me is that Afghanistan which is number 9 on the poorest nations of earth and the other 9 are probably the most likely places on earth where mass starvations will occur first simply based upon per capita income. These countries are the most likely to need great amounts of rice and other staples grown inexpensively in 3rd world nations in order for the poorest people in these nations to simply stay alive.
