Although agricultural subsidies are being phased down in Europe and North America, they continue to create distortions in the trade in agricultural products, largely to the detriment of development countries. These and other non-tariff barriers serve to deny developing countries their natural comparative advantage as producers of sugar, cotton and other agricultural products, the export earnings of which they will need to meet the costs of growing imports of food grain. |
