Farmers in the Global South continue to face systemic economic inequalities when dealing with Western corporations, despite its abundance in resource. The returns for the farmers are disproportionately low compared to the massive profits made by Western corporations from processing and selling products. These inequalities are perpetuated because of neo-colonialism, manifesting through various economic and political mechanisms and nourishing dependency and asymmetrical power relationships between transnational buyers and local suppliers. Addressing these systemic issues is essential to empowering communities and achieving true economic independence. It’s time to break this cycle.
