Vem aí estrilho... um cocktail explosivo (parte II)

A propósito de "Vem aí estrilho... um cocktail explosivo", mão amiga chamou-me a atenção para o fenómeno do aumento do consumo na China e, para o aumento das importações chinesas:

• "Chinese want to sell British milk at £3 per litre"

"State-owned companies are approaching UK farmers direct asking for millions of litres of milk, at a time when some farmers struggle to make a profit."

• "Chinese entrepreneurs milk Germany's supply" 

""A delicious, tasty and safe product for Chinese children, and their parents”, blasts a video ad for German pasteurised milk aimed at the Chinese market. Germany, the world’s third-largest milk producer, is making its presence felt in China, a country with insatiable demand for milk, but a local trade association says they are only seeing a small part of the benefits of Chinese demand.
...
China’s insatiable demand for safe milk products had become a topic in Germany in January, when the leading tabloid Bild reported that grocery stores in major hubs such as Berlin, Frankfurt and Cologne had run out of infant formula. “We neither sell nor export to the Chinese,” Stefan Stohl, a spokesperson of Milupa, a German producer of infant formula told the tabloid at the time. “On the contrary, we try to prevent it.”" 

E recuo até Outubro de 2006... até ao último de parágrafo deste postal:

"Talvez a China e a India acabem por salvar a indústria do arroz em Portugal, crescimento da economia --> maior poder de compra --> maior consumo de arroz --> escassez global de arroz --> embaladores podem fazer melhores preços. Quem sabe?"
