“We sell them oranges, and they send us back marmalade.”

i think its still not well said... Peru sells oranges in exchange to marmelade already on regional basis, but with China we all sell Oranges and get back apples... electronic ones.

100 tones of orange = 1 day 3 farmers 8 labourers, 25 tones of jam = 40 labourers 1 week, people should put this things in perspective to really understand poverty.
