I guess what "Care" wants is a direct government dollar grant that THEY will decide how to spend.

This has been a problem for decades. The local farmers can't compete with food that is free. Imagine what American farmers would say if they had to compete with free food.

If there is so much food from local farmers, why do we need to send more?

But the point is that the local farmers are so inefficient that they CAN'T produce enough to feed their own people. Do you suggest we just let them starve???
