Punch-up over handouts
http://www.economist.com/finance/displayStory.cfm?story_id=3786899
Mar 23rd 2005
From The Economist print edition
Rich countries are under pressure to end their farm subsidies. Might
some poor countries be sorry to see them go?
BURKINA FASO, in west Africa, depends on cotton for about 40% of its
merchandise exports. Alas, prices are not always what they might be.
According to the International Cotton Advisory Committee, a body that
advises governments, world prices would have been about 26% higher in
the 2001-02 season were it not for the $4 billion in subsidies America
lavished on its cotton growers. Farming upland cotton in the United
States was once about separating lint from seed. Now, it is a
convenient method for parting the American taxpayer from his money.
