第一部份大意:
在菲律宾种植一公顷菠萝蜜能够带来1.2W美元一年的收入。该国的贫困人口比例为17%,其中一个原因是其缓慢的经济增长。在1980年到2005年之间,GDP的平均增长只有0.63%,虽然今年的GDP增长预计为6%,但也仅仅是集中在马尼拉等少数省份。偏远地区的群岛和经济增长无缘。
In Philippines a hectare of jackfruit can bring 12,000 USD a year. The poverty rate of the country can be 17%. One reason is the low economic growth of GDP. Between 19780 and 2005, the growth was only 0.63%. Although the GDP growth is forecasted to be 6%, most of the growth is concentrated in Manila and the two provinces nearby. The remote area can't share in the prosperity.
