How did Russia become a wheat export king?
Russia’s wheat exports began to surge at the start of this century, after Soviet-era collective farms gave way to private ownership of rich soils and farmers gained access to the latest international technology. Now, tractors made by U.S. firm Deere & Co. and Germany’s Claas KGaA roll across Russian farms, and crops are sprayed with pesticides made by Monsanto Co. and Syngenta AG. Helped by state support, farmers’ costs can be as little as half those of major competitors, so Russia can afford to keep planting even when prices tumble.

quite unfortunate that our political parties only lean west rather than leaning east too and mainly towards the corrupt democratic party even though our ideology leans more towards the republican . We can learn from both east and west. I think Raila should take a trip to Moscow and look for new opportunities there definitely farming is one of them.
