Jim Rogers loves to be Farmer in Myanmar

Jim Rogers : It depends. When I think of agriculture, I don’t immediately think of Japan. It’s pretty far north, and it’s small, but given the demographic situation, it would probably be a great place given you’d have no competition and there’s a lot of available land. Of course, you have to deal with regulations, controls, etc. If I could pick one country, I would probably pick Myanmar [formerly Burma] or maybe North Korea. No, Myanmar. Myanmar is where I would go to be a farmer. Now, that’s difficult given that I am an American citizen – since we are citizens of the Land of the Free we are not allowed to do a lot of things. Other people are pouring into Myanmar now. Staggering amounts of people and money are already flowing in while we sit here and protect somebody, I don’t know who. - in The Motley Fool
