"Dumping produce below market price" is the other side of the "farm subsidies" coin.

- Tichy 18y agoSure, but why do they have to rely on cotton? I just question the assumption that all Africans should be farmers. In fact, is it likely that they will reach our standards of living if they all remain farmers? I don't think so - very few people in developed countries seem to be farmers, for all I can tell. Of course if cotton can be produced cheaper there, it is a shame that the world doesn't make use of it. But other than that, I don't see why a nation should stubbornly insist on one kind of production.
