    Growing wheat in the wheat climate and trading it with people who grow bananas in the banana climate makes a lot of sense and enriches everyone. But the profits go to the owners and, as if that wasn't already parasitic enough, for some reason they're all in wheat country.

      Isn't that just the most remarkable historical coincidence? Truly there must be an invisible hand guiding the markets.

      That's still a waste of resources right now(carbon and energy, unless we can find a near-carbon free way of transport), unless your climate and soil can't feed you with necessary nutrients you shouldn't trade food in big quantities.
