Thanks to those who, so far, we read, we said, and gave us lots of ideas interesting on which to interesting insights.

BAKERS (FIPP): PRICE OF WHEAT IN NURSE Mirror. WE WILL DO OUR PART BUT THE INSTITUTIONS INVOLVED
(Rome, August 6, 2010). "We are still Once viewers of a bluff - that the price of wheat - driven by unscrupulous speculators. Bakers are the last wagon wheel of a chain ungovernable, that crazy cycle to the detriment of consumers and bakers. The Italian bakers will do their part by monitoring the situation with his usual responsibilities to consumers, but ask the same institutions the most control in an exemplary manner to punish speculators. " So the president of the Italian Federation of Bakers (Fippa), Luke Vecchione, spoke on improvisation surge in wheat prices.
"We seeing a film already seen - said Vecchione - but this time we will not be surprised that what is happening is a beautiful and good speculation, which is part on the price on international markets and up to who owns the stock, which takes full barns waiting for the values \u200b\u200bgo up again. The results are the significant increases recorded in the media these days and we already reported to the Supervisor two weeks ago. The surge in the price of wheat has no real justification in fact, if you think - as stated by the EU - that the grain yield of 2010 will be similar to last year. The Italian Federation of Bakers therefore appeals to the institutions to stop a speculative chain that damages the weak links in the chain. "

So the song remains the same. Thousands of consumers and businesses who have to kneel for the speculators who have invested tens of raw materials and want to make extra profits as they could.
What on earth can we do?
