In rural areas, corruption emanates from frequent expropriation of land-lease contracts held by farmers working on collectively owned land, which local officials then turn over to non-agriculture land developers.

在农村地区，农民在集体所有制的土地上耕作，其拥有的土地承包合同经常被征收，腐败由此滋生。当地官员再把这些土地转 交给非农业土地开发商。

Most galling, agriculture is a small and declining part of these “rich club” economies, and the richer and larger they are, the less significant agriculture is and the more resources are wasted on rural welfare.

最令人不平的是，农业对于这些“富人俱乐部”经济体而言是一个衰退中的、小的经济部门。这些国家越富裕、经济规模越大，农业也就越式微，而浪费在农业福利方 面的资源也就越多。
