Your Farm Subsidies Are Strangling Us, NYTimes
 









Excerpts: Cotton is our ticket into the world market. Its production is crucial
to economic development in West and Central Africa, as well as to the
livelihoods of millions of people there. Cotton accounts for up to 40 percent of
export revenues and 10 percent of gross domestic product in our two countries,
as well as in Benin and Chad. (...)  This vital economic sector in our countries
is seriously threatened by agricultural subsidies granted by rich countries to
their cotton producers.  Editor's Note: Amadou Toumani Toure and Blaise Compaore
are the presidents of Mali and Burkina Faso.
