Comments on: Should we be bullish about food prices? http://www.tvhe.co.nz/2008/10/20/should-we-be-bullish-about-food-prices/ The Visible Hand in Economics Sun, 19 Oct 2008 23:26:56 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Matt Nolan http://www.tvhe.co.nz/2008/10/20/should-we-be-bullish-about-food-prices/#comment-3014 Sun, 19 Oct 2008 23:26:56 +0000 http://tvhe.wordpress.com/?p=1629#comment-3014 “I think that prices can only go up in the longer term, but in part that will be due to increased nationalisation of food production, as developing countries in particular fight to regain some semblance of food security”

So a trade-off between security of supply and efficiency?

My issue would be – how do they nationalise it? If countries start to subsidise food production (further) in order to increase security of supply then it will be bad for food prices – and for us 😛

Admittedly my view is probably being overly influenced by this article I just read:
