in the Third World. When surplus grain that historically been donated for famine relief get used for ethanol production.
People in the Third World have to pay the same market prices that we do for grains unless it's subsidized.
Increased demand for feed stocks to produce ethanol will have some unintended consequences down the line.
The whole process needs to be well thought out.
