Yes, but Quinoa is farmed in countries ruled by populist left-wing democracies. If the poor subsistence farmers were somehow being screwed by this massive inflow of cash, do you really think Hero Of The People types like Morales or Maduro wouldn't find some way to protect them? It's not like we're talking about corporate dictators here.
I mean, there's a lot of faults in Latin American populist leftist politics, but this kind of thing is the sort of stuff they're supposed to excel at.
