Glencore commodities trader run by billionaires obtained £ 50 million World Food Programme contract despite the UN pledge to buy from `poor farmers`
Glencore operated in secrecy from Switzerland until six months ago when they floated on to the London Stock Exchange.
Global food economists said it was `Shocking`how food aid is `funnelled` to one of the worlds largest commodity traders.
`War on Want` CEO said Glencore`s self confessed speculation on grain markets last year forced up prices at a time of world shortage driving more people into extreme hunger.
Today Glencore will merge with mining group Xstrata to become one of the top ten FTSE companies.
Glencore`s CEO`s nickname is `$ 10 million man`.Four other directors are billionaires.
WFP last year received aid of £ 144 million from UK and $ 1.2 billion from US.
Do we need these financial pariah`s?
