I recall reading over at the Oil Drum, that a chap named Jeffrey Brown (I think) devised what he called a "Land Export Model" -- basically saying that as the producing countries need more
energy themselves, they export less even if they are producing more.

I'm wondering which countries provide most of the food items imported into the oil producing countries? Anyone know?
