haha, thats the most ignorant view of third worldexplotation ive ever heard. The people are forced to work on these flower plantations because the companies that own them own all the land in the area, as such the only jobs are on the platation forwhat the company decides is a good wage (good for the company, not the worker).

The big flaw in your argument is that fact that while the flowers are worth 1000 an acre theworker only gets like 1 dollar an acre. If he grew an acre of corn then he would be much better off than growing profits for a huge company.

Yes because subsistence farming is a definite path to prosperity for poor nations. I like the way you think comrade.
