Studies that Focused on Africa
US Farm Programs and African Cotton
Prompted by the results of the WTO cotton case pursued by Brazil against the US, IPC's paper analyzes issues related to cotton and trade, with a particular focus on the elimination or reduction of US cotton export and domestic subsidies and the possible consequences for African cotton farmers. The paper provides an update on trade reforms undertaken to date and set forth the possible drivers for further US reforms. It also projects the expected outcome and impact of reforms undertaken either as a result of the US coming into compliance with the WTO cotton panel ruling, US implementation a concluded Doha Development agreement, or US farm policy reforms brought about through the 2007 Farm Bill. The paper reflects on the options available to least developed countries attempting to change the nature of domestic support in developed countries, and how such options could be improved or expanded.
