Jim Rogers sees opportunities in Sugar Coffee and Farming

Jim Rogers : Agriculture has been a horrible business to be in for the last 30 years but I see some good opportunities there as the world demands more food. Sugar prices are very depressed. Something like 75 per cent off their all-time high back in 1974. And coffee prices are also depressed. Farming is one of the few areas I am optimistic about.
You might think these sorts of commodities' values were peaking especially something as basic as rice given the demand for them but it takes a while for the markets to catch on.
If you don't feel confident enough buying the individual commodity there will always be an index or an ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) that tracks it.
