Producción de trigo en Rusia y la crisis internacional en la economía chilena

The Chilean economy has recently been hit by low prices in its main exports: copper. Initially the variation in global Stock Exchange by the threat of default on the external debt of China, led to think that would be the main cause of the devaluation of copper. But China's reserves are huge and have to pay back their commitments. However, there is another aspect that influences the Stock Exchanges: the integration of the Crimea to the Russian Federation, coupled with potential Russian intervention in Ukraine. Business analysts understand that at the beginning of a likely conflict, countries tend to invest more in store food than metals. This would main motivation a previous poor grain harvest in Russia, due to a drought. One of the weaknesses of the economy of the Russian Federation is to provide enough grain to a population of 142 million people in lands that do not have a benign climate. The aim is to highlight the fragility of the national economy, dependent on commodity exports, no additional value-added, being that it was able to change this situation and remain in the present. The methodology is based on the historical background search of the influence of: the supply of cereals in politics and economy of nations, and the development of technologies to achieve economic independence. We conclude that our economy remains dependent and continues in the same line as in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, based on the export of raw materials without added values and with the current aggravation of an unprotected flank like wheat production to supply the country self.
