Would it be profitable to invest in water buffalo to sell to Chinese rice farmers ?
>>

I'm aware it is obviously profitable, if you are in China, but what about out of country ?
>>
>>61523282
Yes I think you could easily get a man's daughter for one or two young water buffalo

>>61523282
wtf will we do once china and all asian countries decide to stop keeping exchange rates low or to stop exporting cheap subsidized crap? where the fuck will we get rice?
>>
>>61523282
Yes, water buffalo futures is where it is at.

>>61523282

America actually is a net exporter of rice. We grow a lot of it in Arkansas and sell it to Japan.

This is actually a very interesting subject. China keeps its subsistence farming artificially inefficient (could easily introduce industrial robots at scale) as a way of tackling its growing structural unemployment issue. There are some 5-600m people pretending to be farmers because there aren't any jobs available for these people. Making farming more efficient for them in anyway would be detrimental.

>jobs are a finite resource
>producing more goods for less work is bad, actually
I don't get how this retardation has managed to infect most of the world

>>61525720
the mayors and cpc bureaucrats will kill your idea either by allowing flooding to happen, as they often do to the downstream cities along the yangtze, or because you failed or went over some manufacturing/farming quota set in their jurisdictions, i can't imagine a worse for a foreigner to do business
>>
>>61525720
Where the hell did you get that idea from?

There are about 200 million people employed in agriculture in China, and the number keeps decreasing. 20 years ago it was over 340 million. Yet production levels of for example rice are up since 20 years ago
