China is growing in importance as a food exporter even with the recent 'food scares' in Japan and USA.
China has 1.2bn people but why is it that Kenya (a poor country with low 'cost' of living or low standards of living) can't compete with China?
Our flower, tea and horticulture exporters are crying over the strength of the KShs (vs the US$) while lamenting high costs of production,of which labour is a huge part, which makes them increasingly uncompetitive in world markets.
Why is Kenyan labour so expensive vis-a-vis China or India yet we have a (unofficial) 50% unemployment rate?
