This, of course, is true, American markets would undoubtedly be very attractive, but exporting takes food out of an already under supplied area, and, because the richer nations can afford to pay more, pushes up prices on the home market as well.

I feel it is important to avoid falling into the trap of over simplifying a horrific humanitarian problem.
