Well, Jays, do you have some of your own thoughts about this?
i.e. what companies quite obviously retail most of Australia's food?

Are you enquiring about:
Primary production of meat, fish, chicken, fruit and Vegtables;
Dairy production;
Food Processors; and/or
Retailers like Coles, Metcash or Woolworths?

Hi All,

basically, after reading the following article (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-...-as-un-sounds-alarm-on-further-shortages.html) i was wondering how one can gain exposure to stocks that would be benefit the investor if food prices increased.

Would it be correct to say that the likes of woollies/coles wouldn't benefit as much from food price increases than primary producers?

thanks again
