It appears that the way to mollify Iranian hatred of America may indeed be through the stomach. The Wall Street Journal reports that Iran is buying high-quality hard red winter wheat from the Great Satan.
Drought is expected to slash Iran’s domestic production by one-third this year. Iran is forecast to produce 10 million tons of wheat this year, down from 15 million tons in 2007-08, and to import 4.5 million tons, up from 200,000 tons last year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
ADM and others need to drive that demand up. Have the French bring in bakeries and patisseries. Maybe Poupart’s could open a branch in Tehran. That would be all good.
Is it lunch time yet?
