In a nutshell, developing countries were taxing farmers, developed countries were taxing consumers and protecting farmers
+ price management
Increased income, developing countries move to more protection, from taxing to protecting farmers.
Developed countries fix the policy mistakes of the past, when we start to see past mistakes in today’s developing countries
Could we stop it?
