问题     Farmers in the developing world would hate price fluctuations.
It makes them hard to plan ahead. But most of them have little 【M1】______
choice: they sell at the price the market sets. Farmers in Europe, the
US and Japan are luckier: they receive massive government
subsidies in the form of guaranteeing prices or direct handout. 【M2】______
    Agricultural production in most poor countries accounts up to 【M3】______
50% of GDP, compared to only 3% in rich countries. But most
farmers in poor countries grow just enough for themselves and their
families. These who try exporting to the West find their goods 【M4】______
whacked with huge tariffs or competed against cheaper subsidized 【M5】______
goods.
    Agriculture is one of the few areas in which the Third World
can compete with. Land and labor are cheap, and as farming 【M6】______
methods develop, new technologies should improve output. This is a 【M7】______
pie-in-the-sky speculation. The biggest success in Kenya’s economy
over the past decade has been the boom in exports of cut flowers and
vegetables to Europe.
    Poor countries have long suspected that the rich world urges
trade liberalization only so it can wangle their way into new markets. 【M8】______
And now Kenya is considered to be slightly over rich to qualify for 【M9】______
the least-developed country status that allows African producers to
avoid paying stiff European import duties on selected agricultural
products. With trade barriers in the place, the horticulture industry in【M10】______
Kenya may shrivel as quickly as a discarded rose.
【M9】
