Harris - make America a 3rd world shithole
"On a 1.5-acre vegetable farm in Accra, Ghana, 54-year-old Kassim Ahmed spends time weeding among his crops of okro, green chili and cauliflower.
He’s been farming for 26 years. This year, Ahmed said production costs have skyrocketed.
He used to be able to purchase four 55-pound bags of fertilizer for his crops at about $7 each. Now, they cost $41 each. ... In Ghana, fertilizer costs have more than quadrupled this year. ....
The number of people affected by a food and nutrition crisis in West and Central Africa is expected to reach a new record high this month — quadrupling in just three years from 10.7 million in 2019 to 41 million in 2022.
