He said that today, while China and India have only 20% of water on the planet, the Americas have 40%. And said: "For the first time, Gulf countries are thinking in Latin America, are dismissing other economic powers have become strategic investors," he said.
Gustavo Oliverio, director of the Foundation Produce and Conserve, referred to a study of the organization under which it was projected that by 2020 is expected to increase 72% of wheat production in Argentina, 98% growth for the 54% corn and soybean production in comparison with the average for the period 2007 to 2009.
