Four shipments of potatoes leave Ireland to be sold; one shipment of potatoes arrives in Ireland to be 'donated' for 'relief'.
The free market at work!
(Mandatory disclaimer: markets are genuinely amazing things, in that they manage to transfer information and facilitate exchange with extremely low overhead. What they don't do, however, is guarantee ideal or even moral outcomes, contrary to the belief of the lassiez-faire lunatics of the 19th century - and too many today, for that matter. This goes double for capitalist markets.)
