Telling Porkies

30/06/11 -- Here's something that you probably didn't know. Saudi Arabia and Kazakhstan are looking at doing some "joint agricultural projects" together. It's a sign of the times and follows a trend that we have seen developing recently where oil-rich but largely infertile nations are looking to buy/rent or "jointly develop" agricultural land abroad.

One interesting thing about this article is that it clearly states that Kazakhstan is the third largest wheat producing country in the world. Is that what they told you Saudi Arabia, don't sign anything until you've done a bit more research!
