If it is more lucrative than growing food, does that mean you can buy an equivalent amount of imported food and pocket the profits? If that was the case then it would be an example globalization at work. (note, I don't know if it is)
Similarly, would wealthy khat growers be willing to pay more for food? Since they have more wealth? If so then it would create inflationary pressure on food prices and thus make growing food pay more than it had before.
I can easily imagine that the markets would be imbalanced at first, but it seems the mechanisms would correct that if it is simply more valuable to grow khat.
