Public awareness of global warming and its consequences is low. O B. The government of this country sets price floors for all agricultural commodities at the beginning of the harvest season. O c. The soil in most parts of this country is very fertile and rich in nutrients. OD. People in this country are highly sensitive to price changes. O E. There was a drought in the country that year.
