Memo to Cargill: Just Wait And See What Castro Has For You

Sunday, May 17, 2009
From this weekend's Financial Times:
 
Hugo Chávez, Venezuela's president, continued his assault on foreign companies operating in the country yesterday, seizing a pasta factory owned by US food giant Cargill in an effort to keep a lid on rampant inflation and dwindling food stocks.
 
NOTE: Cargill Corporation is a Minnesota-base agri-business leader, which together with Archer Daniels Midland of Illinois, leads the U.S. in commodity exports to Cuba (and lobbying Congress for even more business with the Castro regime).
