Black Horse/Famine: "UN conference on rising food prices in Asia"

Currently the retail price of rice is up in Bangladesh by 33 percent from last year and in China and Indonesia by 23 percent.

Note:  technological development was suggested as a way to increase world food supplies, of course this will eventually lead to GMO's & the 666's are in the seed!

Representatives attending a United Nations conference in Bangkok on the rising cost of food in Asia have agreed to avoid restrictive measures that could lead to a food price crisis.

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization brought together 19 countries in Asia, plus Japan and the United States, for two days of discussions on how to deal with rising food prices.

The FAO says globally, the cost of food in February reached the highest level it ever recorded and that prices could rise further as the price of oil goes up, affecting transport costs.

Ertharin Cousin is the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. agencies in Rome. She told journalists late Thursday that they agreed not to repeat past mistakes that contributed to a dramatic rise in food prices a few years ago.
