Food shortage
I have read your editorial regarding global food crisis. But I think we should think about our food crisis, rather than global food crisis. Our main food is rice, not potatoes or bread. The main reason behind the food price hike, especially rice, is the irresponsible behaviour of the businessmen. Our businessmen are trying to be as non corporative as possible with the present non-elected government. The situation of our business field has always been bad. There is a lot of “middlemanship” in our present business. Businessmen can do anything with the price rate of their products, especially food products because they are united. I know the present government has imposed some impractical decisions which have gone against the interests of businessmen but that doesn't mean they have every right to do whatever they like. Our businessmen should import some “limited sense of humanity” for themselves.
I think the government should consider some harsh options to keep things under control.
