        Interesting point.  A couple of days ago, a friend of mine
        asked me to ask around if anyone would know of a trade/commerce
        of corn from the US to Africa, more specifically to West
        Africa.  I'm not sure how to go about finding this out, and
        any help/suggestions/ideas/whatever would be greatly appreciated.
        Thank you very much.
