Impressionante! Depois do relatado na parte I encontrar "Rising Demand for Organic and Non-GMO Grains Outpaces US Production" onde se pode ler:
"Increasing consumer demand for organic and non-GMO foods led to a sharp rise in organic grain imports in 2016—prompting food manufacturers to explore new incentives for U.S. growers transitioning to organic production, according to a new report from CoBank. While U.S. production of non-GMO crops has risen, domestic production of organic corn and soybeans remains well short of demand."Depois de ler a parte I ler:
"“Domestic supplies of non-GMO corn and soybeans increased steadily in 2016, as growers converted acreage and captured moderate market premiums,” says Dan Kowalski, director of the Knowledge Exchange Division at CoBank. “Transitioning to organic production, however, is a multi-year, risk-reward calculation that’s likely holding some U.S. growers back from taking advantage of the market opportunity.”É de loucos!
.
Imports of organic grains, particularly corn, from countries such as India, Ukraine, Romania, and Turkey surged in 2016 to meet the burgeoning U.S. demand for organic food products. Organic corn imports more than doubled from 2015 to 2016 and accounted for nearly one-half of the U.S. organic corn supply. The domestic shortfall for organic soybeans was even greater, with roughly 80 percent of soybeans supplying the U.S. organic market imported in 2016."
Imaginem seguir o conselho do canadiano referido na parte I... Imaginem pensar primeiro nas necessidades dos clientes em vez de pensar primeiro no que a inércia dita, do que é a tradição.
Como não pensar nas importações de leite em Portugal a preços muito acima daqueles a que se fazem as exportações:
"Em "Leite e Lacticínios" é possível verificar que as exportações em 2015 foram feitas a um preço médio de 41 cêntimos e as importações a um preço médio de ... 60 cêntimos!!!"Se calhar estamos perante o mesmo tipo de desafio.
