How to invest in Food/Grain?

Like corn, rice, wheat, sugar, coffee, etc...

Any thoughts/advices on such investment in the current climate?

    Commodity guru Jim Rogers claims that agri will rocket over the next 10 years for many reasons. I agree but expect a very bumpy ride.

    You can buy the commodities direct with an ETF or buy unit trusts on agri producers such as Eclectica Agriculture, Sarasin Agrisar, Barings Gobal Agri.

    What are the stock codes for the ETF you mentioned?
