How lopsided can this world get. Tesco must do what is right for the world and Kenya will have to adapt to evolving cycles of the economy. This will neither be the first nor last world upheavel for Kenya or many other countries. Welcome to the latest version of the "GREEN" market.

To drastically oversimplify an admittedly complex and layered issue: When African farmers grow food for export to Europe and America, that's a lot of food that they're NOT growing for their fellow Africans. When Tesco and others choose to support their local growers (a more sustainable solution), growers in Africa will have more incentives to contribute to their own local economies instead (also a more sustainable solution).

Strengthening local, diversified, stable economies does far more good than furthering the globalization agenda. Encouraging small, locally-owned businesses will create more jobs and improve the quality of life of more African people -- it raises equality and lessens poverty, while the "free trade" currently practiced by the developed world does the reverse.

(Incidentally, the above is true not only for Africans, but for people on other continents as well.)

Exactly when?
I'm still waiting ....
