Gus > Developing countries must take a collective stand on 'Zero-Tolerance to Subsidies' to protect their agriculture, says Devinder Sharma. Amazing, although people are starving in India and Africa and require food aid, what is important is the export of food from India and Africa to Europe. Surely, charity begins at home -- but not in Africa and India, it seems. google.com google.com Anyway, I've no doubt that the motivation from the "developing" countries for the "developed" countries to remove subsidies on food production comes from big farmers, who are probably even situated in the developed countries and who own farms in Argentina, Africa and India. None of this has anything to do with developing underdeveloped countries, but with breaking into established markets by rival capitalists. In fact, what often happens is when the market is opened and the trade preference is given, the production of the developed countries is simply rerouted through the undeveloped country and made to appear as if it was produced by the undeveloped country. The net result of the removal of European farming subsidies will be that US farming conglomerates, or more likely middle-men and produce wholesalers, will enrich themselves at the expense of the European farmers. Of course, the needy African and other politicians will get their cut.
