Meghan Sapp, Secretary General of Partners for Euro-African Green Energy (PANGEA) said the oil price spike in 2007/08 were a result of many factors, such as bad cereal crops in Australia, Canada and elsewhere due to drought, underinvestment in agriculture for decades, increased demand for protein in Asia, and Latin America as well as increased demand for cereals in Africa. “When oil prices went up, so did the prices of fertilizer, tractor diesel and transportation.Yet when oil prices came down, the high prices for food commodities—which at the time were blamed on biofuels—also came down. The foodstuff whose price had increased the most was rice, which is not used anywhere as a feedstock for biofuel,” said Sapp.

12/09 – At the bioenergy conference in Accra, Meghan Sapp, Secretary General of Partners for Euro-African Green Energy (PANGEA), defended the use of African arable land for fuel production, pointing the finger at significant, long-term underinvestment in agriculture as a main cause of the continent’s food insecurity. That, tied with poor market access and often non-existent infrastructure, has kept Africa on its knees. Bioenergy production, she said, offered a key to help reverse this decades-long trend.
