The Longest Thread: Robbed, Milked then Doomed.
Milk story first: Milk and Wheat share the same priority, both essential in our regime and we all must see Milk as a bigger picture.
#agrinerds @souhad_16
It’s the base almost everything we eat except grains and white meats. Red meat, Cheese, Labne, Yogurt, Sour cream, Ashta, Sweet, Chocolate Confectioneries, Ice cream, with all products, sub-products, we spend 30% of our monthly income on Mils and its related products.
Knowing that 1L of Milk is selling in 3,500LL in retail gets to raise in an Alert and you must never take it that easy. Allow me to go quickly through reasons:
-Mills are buying cattle feed with real$ at black market rate, by feed I mean Barley,Maize,Soybeans (not wheat)…
And as the heaviest production cost lays at what the cattle eat then there is no other way for local manufactures but to increase the price as an outcome.
I believe there is no way to get the $ at 1515 rate anymore, we have limited $ to trade with
, public won’t have $ anymore as flow and no 1 on earth can survive without Milk exactly like Wheat, that leaves us with few options:
-We keep importing, means Milk price will be directly linked to $ rate, mean when $ up-Milk up, so we better be prepared for 5,000 LL per kg
-We quit Milk production and we import all our Milk need, then we better be ready to import in the value of 500M$/y
-We start growing cereals in Arable lands, followed by state support in sense of free Machinery and Fertilizers customs without any middlemen,
long-term lease lands for free to farmers so they encourage to invest in crop, seeds support… we need around 1.5 SQKM to not import any cereals.
-State invests resources and motivate private sector to build up aquaponics systems for Vegs,Fruits so we free some lands for cereals
Options 3,4 are hard tasks , require brave leaderships and active mentality. Once done, we will have our bread,Dairy,Meat and Poultry local produced, Of course speaking of price drop benefits, the jobs and opportunities they create, are the most suitable options.
A,B options are buying time with our last $. When time ends, be prepared so we sell our pride to the nearest war-lord,drug-lord or whoever feeding us with basics. Note down, we won't make it without Milk.. DOOM
While digging in this matter and collecting data, a rip-off else showed up as usual, 2 rip-offs:
1-Government used to subsidize the wheat import and pay around 10% of the imported value to the mills. This 10% has been from state’s money, means our money
what crossed my attention from 2007-2014,we imported Wheat from Russia at extremely high prices between 25%-100% to what Russia official export prices. To make it easier, it could be that state was importing the entire wheat to mills then mills are only making the profit.
2-The subsidize currently came in another form, ofcourse from our bank accounts by selling our $$ to mills for 1515LL and for us in 3,200LL and there is still some politic gangs behind the scene of mills and bakeries threatening us with Bread price rise
Then a Super Power State Minister comes to hold them back.
