Farmers and good farming methods are essential and have a vital and key role in the issue of hunger since they produce about 40 percent of the food we intake today.
Economy Laos lost nine-tenths of their currency's value against the US dollar in 1997 during the Asian currency crisis. A report from the Asian Development Bank states that even if absolute poverty incidence has halved, the distribution of private household expenditures has become more unequal in Laos. Because a large portion of the Lao population don't have the required education, skills, and experience for jobs outside the agriculture sector, foreign businesses who invest in the country usually bring their own foreign staff with them.
