For their part, small farmers, who produce the bulk of our agricultural output in Africa, come to the market with virtually no information at all -- blind -- trusting that they're going to have some sort of demand for their produce, and completely at the mercy of the merchants in the only market, the nearest local market they know -- where they're unable to negotiate better prices or reduce their risk.
对于生产出非洲大部分农业产品的小农民这部分人来说， 他们来到市场几乎是盲目地，一点信息都没有。 他们相信 他们的产品肯定会有一定的需求。 而让自己任由唯一一个市场 或者他们所知的最近的本地市场的商人任意摆布 他们讨不到更好的价钱，也降低不了风险。
