South+America

__Proposal: __ ===Our proposal to help the country of South America would be to implement jobs in the agriculture industry. We chose Venezuela because their poverty rate is in the top ranking percents. This plan would include the planting, growing, harvesting, and production of corn. This will allow for jobs to be made for the unemployed or less fortunate population. These jobs that are being created will help the countries poverty rate drop and will allow families to buy clothes, food, and other necessities. The Venezuelan employees will be provided with the input of seed, machinery, chemicals, fuel, technology and education to maximize the business production. The crop will be processed and sold to the local market to avoid transportation costs to the U.S. Profits will be split on a 60/40 ratio, with 60 going towards our business. ===
