Turbulent times for agriculture

Turbulence. That's what the world is passing through now. Nothing seems to be independent or exclusive in these times of globalization.

The agriculture sector looks more important once attempts are made to strengthen the industries. Similarly, education or healthcare would seem as important as agriculture. The order is cyclic, with each point on the circumference seemingly more important than the others.

This does not augur well for a country as vast and populous as China, where a large number of factories have already closed and more than 20 million people have lost their jobs. The situation for white-collar workers, though not as bad, is not too rosy either.
