HONG KONG -- Asians may be getting wealthier, but their money may not be able to buy them all the food they need, as the region faces a lack of arable land and low agricultural productivity, according to Dutch cooperative lender Rabobank.
"Although the population growth has slowed down quite a lot in China, the demand for food is still increasing very, very much because of the wealthier population, the mid-market that is existing now," Diane Boogaard, CEO of Rabobank Asia, told Nikkei Asian Review.
