    I guess we're not aware of what's going on.  Are you telling us that
we are somehow forcing these countries to sell products for prices lower
than others are willing to pay?  If so, why don't they just well their
products elsewhere?  Or do you mean that the world is just unwilling to
spend as much on bannannas as these countries need?
