And the immediate return from that is low. The economy of most developing countries is inefficient and unbalanced. Agriculture provides at least 50% to 90% employment; On the other hand some basic items, e.g. Oil and some rare minerals are becoming increasingly expensive. These countries cannot buy it. Mineral fuels like copper, zinc, tin, etc. are becoming very expensive. Developing countries cannot compete with developed countries in purchasing these goods.
