China agriculture will grow by 26 per cent and in India by 21 per cent.Crop prices are predicted to be 16 to 40 per cent above their average for the next decade. Dairy prices will rise the same amount. Butter prices will increase the most. BF Cover Story - BIG or small: Which farm model is most economically sustainable? BSE is in her eyes
