It almost relates to a point I was making initially on whether the approach should be trade or aid. How important is trade? Is it an answer? It seems from what is being said here that it is not in many cases. Farmers with only 1 ha or 2 ha of land are not going to be producing a massive amount of product to trade with anyone unless they are operating very collectively and co-operatively. We are always told that if we could get developing countries to trade better, they would trade their way into prosperity. I doubt that. I would like the delegates' view on it. This is related to Senator Mulherin's point.
