Rice, Sugar, Coffee, Corn...the list goes on and on..yet, I am thrilled by my work, as I dwell deeper and deeper into to business of commodities and the route it takes from farm to fork! I beleive that we have ignored the importance of life sustaining food products, and also beleive that commodities are the foundation stones of economies - today's stories on the thirst of China and India are ideas we have toyed with in the last twelve years. My work focuses on the resources or Asia, as well as her needs, to allow businesses to take a peek at the future. Create new bonds and oil the wheels of commerce that is so vital in taking commodities across thousands of miles into our homes.
After last year's focus on China...steel, iron ore, coal as well as the all important business of rice, wheat and all major and minor bulk commodities...we move 2006 into Vietnam, to look at pepper, coffee and rice - how a rising economy, so poor in comparison to the developed world is also what we rely on for food.
Watch this spot - I have many offerings and views lined up in the months to come. What will we look at:
April - Steel
June - Rice (and maybe the world cup)
August - Sugar and the power from ethanol
September - Shipping, marine fuels, dry bulk shipping and energy shipping in Asia
October - Rice...from Vietnam's rich heritage
December - Coffee in Asia
