I read your article – – and found it very interesting and alarming – profits and land grab seems to be the intention. From my understanding in Ethiopia many of the deals were land leases for large commercial farmers to produce crops using modern methods and increase food production, either for export or local consumption. The worrying impact for me is the nature, length and detail of the leases that are agreed between the sovereign government and investors and what they leave behind once the lease is up. If that can be researched it might give insight as to who gains the most overall. I look forward to reading more in-depth analysis on the subject.
