  3. Economic Situation Today De-leveraging is mainly a Western concern • Global debt now 10x GDP? • In the US, overall national income has declined by USD 52bn since the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy in 3Q 2008, while companies’ net income has risen by USD 216bn. • Never before have the fruits of economic activity been so skewed in favour of companies and at the expense of other constituents.

Zimbabwe? • Selected opportunities • Azuki Beans:with 25% protein content it‘s one of the most nutritive vegetables, more digestible than European beans, favorite vegetable in Japan after soya beans and its paste (‚anko‘) ingredient to most Japanese sweets • Coffee:200 years ago the Philippines was the fourth largest coffee producing nation. Today it produces only 0.012% of the world's supply. • Milk:important for children‘s nutrition and the production of dairy products, would lessen dependency on imports
