Teff. It's the primary staple of the national diet of Ethiopia. It forms injera, the daily bread of an entire nation, and has been around since the very dawn of agriculture.
But today, despite being more important to the nation's survival than ever before, Teff is facing its greatest threat: the Dutch.

I've heard this coined the demand dilemma: We are poor. But we have a thing. Rich foreigners are interrested in our thing. Yay we can export it. The thing goes up in value. And price. Wait, we also need the thing for ourselves. Can we now afford our own thing? Crap, this got complicated.

@peterisawesomeplease 5 лет назад

This explanation is somewhat simplistic. The value of the commodity may go up see oil for example. Or it might got down take for example internationalization of corn markets. The bigger problem is control over the resource. Internationalization brings more efficient organizational structures. Modern large international companies will out complete almost anyone. Even in markets they have no experience in previously. This means regardless of the price changes over time their greater efficiency and access to capital will allow them to capture the market. Once the market is captured all of the profit that used to be spread over a large population will get concentrated in one place. The greater efficiency and larger markets international coorperations provide means the total amount of profit goes up. But if that profit now goes to only a few people you end up with worse economic situation overall. To make matters worse weak political systems allow for corruption, fraud, price fixing, labor fraud, .. which are much more prevalent when you have a few large actors rather than many small competing entities. This is the well known resource trap problem. The only way to get both the benefits of mega cooperation without the downsides are strong non corrupt governments that will stop excessive market centralization, provide protection for labour to organize and will tax and reinvest the new profits well enough to respread out the wealth. #rant

@NozomuYume 5 лет назад

You can make injera with wheat too (almost all injera outside of Ethiopia/Eritrea is made at least partially with wheat because teff is so expensive -- if you go to an Ethiopian restaurant in the US you will get wheat injera unless you pay extra for 100% teff -- and they might not even *have* teff). So why not sell teff for high prices to the hippies who think it's magical and then buy cheap industrial vitamin-enriched wheat to replace it? You could even mandate that any teff exported must be matched with imported wheat. Ethiopian farmers will get more money to spend in the local market, while still having a product to sell domestically.

We've got a version of this in Sudan as well. We call it Kisra. We eat the Ethiopian type too and we call it - you guessed it - Ethiopian kisra. In Sudan it's usually made at home or made locally in small shops and bakeries then sold as individual sheets, so it's really funny going abroad and seeing how it's been commoditized in Sudanese expat communities. As much as I am for the spread of my culture, I really hope it doesn't "catch on" and become a trendy food, at least outside of the realm of Sudanese owned businesses and restaurants.

@GradyHouger 5 лет назад

As an American grain farmer trying to figure out all the global factors affecting local prices, I think having national agencies that provide accurate numbers and governments willing to be protectionist works the best. India for instance puts "go away" tariffs on beans imports when their farmers have a good crop, and takes them off when their people need more than they can locally produce. The downside is any miscalculation and the government feels obligated to subsidize their farmers, which has it's own host of economic problems.

*The solution is simple !* The Ethiopians must invest into storage facilities that can store Teff to reduce the price fluctuations that force people to sell at the market rate during harvest. Sell Teff in monthly amounts till the next harvest. This is how the farmers in developed nations survive price fluctuations.

@gabrielmaffei7623 5 лет назад

if big productors are free to buy the farmers land , they will speculate and hoard the grain , they dont care if the local market get emptyed and destroyed, because they act for profit. i am from a third world country, the huge landowners do this all the time, the huge amounts of money they get, they stock it in tax havens or invest it in the financial market, it doesnt distribute (unless the govnerment says so)

It sounds similar to what happened to Ireland on the run up to the famine, over reliance on one single food/resource. Just one disaster away from the entire country collapsing.

7:22 Straight facts: According to the EN wikipedia the Dutch government ruled this controversial 2007 EU patent invalid. That is earlier than 2019, and the scenario is a little different.

It’s almost as though, by knowing history, our host here is able to tell what will come for the Ethiopians due to teff production!

@rockyfjord4710 5 лет назад

Couple points. Teff cannot be produced in a factory, if it's a grain. It's harvested. It could be mechanically milled. I see no reason it could not also be grown, harvested, and milled in other countries, for local use or export market. The methods of these subsistence farmers in Ethiopia are very crude indeed. Farm machinery could be very more efficient. Of course that would lead to freeing up people for education or other work beyond subsistence agriculture.

I live in Brazil’s northernmost state, smack in front of the amazon river and the ecuador line. Same thing happening here with açai. people used to drink it everyday but shit has gotten really expensive since it became a fad food in São Paulo and california

They farm Teff in Idaho and you can get in most places with an Ethiopian population in the US. Here in Northern Virginia it is very accessible and I think it's basically all domestically produced teff.

A broad patent on many aspects of the use and processing of teff and teff flour was granted in 2007 by the European Patent Office (EPO) to a Dutch company.[30] This patent has been contested since 2014 or earlier.[31][32][33] In November 2018, the Dutch government ruled the patent invalid.[34] Source: wiki

But, but, but, Whole Wallet has a special on teff this week! Along with wheat grass shots at the coffee bar for umpteen dollars, one can defecate in confidence that your upper GI tract will look like a million bucks!

Interesting, I never really think of the impact or story of the foods I purchase, I wonder if things like rice and beans have a story of their won like this one.

Tef is a species of eragrostis. It is quite common across the world as a naturalised pasture or a weed. It is a very low yielding grain with very small seeds and it is drought resistant. I doubt it is economical to grow in other regions in comparison to other crops.

In addition to the videos uploaded on this channel and the extra patron ones, have you considered creating a second channel where you talk about your experiences from shooting these episodes in more of a casual/podcasty format? I'd defiantly like to see something like that and think it'd be a good watch.

@RareEarthSeries 5 лет назад

Yeah, and I'd call it common ground and I'd be really lazy about filming episodes recently.
