agro-dealers = agriculture-dealers?

Yes...= Agricultural dealers...Your link pertains to an organization in Africa called the "Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa"

Thanks.

Does "AGRA is being used to" sound in a negative tone?

My opinion is that that is intended to be a more or less neutral statement of fact. That's only an opinion, of course.

Yeah, I agree with Roger...I think it is all a personal opinion...Just like the personal belief if that person found Heaven or not...I personally think that you would have to set up an organization to develop land to make Africa a better living environment than many other places in the world....And improve the quality of living...that currently exists there...But I can also understand why people would think that developing land, and taking out trees and such would not be wise...But I would not happen to agree with them, unless this organization is just being ruthless....If they are developing land, to create farms so people can eat and survive, and live longer and healthier....I can't say I think they are wrong, unless they were not doing it responsibly...but that is just my own personal opinion....
