Look at the current tariffs that US has on products coming into them from Developing countries.. On one hand they want free entry for their products like Monsanto seeds etc into Indian markets but OTOH they do not want products coming into them from developing nations.. | ||

Recent ICTSD, IPC and IFPRI analysis shows that the February 2008 draft agriculture modalities would lead to a significant overall reduction in EU and US tariffs. Many key developing country exports would nevertheless continue to face significant import duties. The average trade-weighted applied tariff would fall from 7.9 to 3.5 percent for goods entering the US market. However, tariffs for some products – such as sugar, tobacco and dairy – would only be reduced to 16.5, 12.8 and 12.4 percent from 46.8, 42.6 and 28.1 percent, respectively. Tariffs on products likely to be designated as sensitive would fall from 50.4 to 29.3 percent. These products include important developing country export commodities, such as processed dairy, beef, sugar, chocolate, tobacco goods and frozen orange juice. The overall EU outcomes are largely similar although the specific figures and products differ. While average trade-weighted agricultural tariffs would fall to 9.5 percent from 23.4 percent, sugar, cereals, meat and dairy would continue to face significantly higher tariffs than other products. These products are also most likely to be designated as sensitive. | ||

USA always had high tariffs on farm imports. They protect their farmers very well. That is the reason you see Corn farmers from Mexico crying that US has been robbing them off..literally. They are saying temporarily we will have short term backlash for the impasse..but in the long run the issues are likely to be resolved | ||

The mini-Ministerial Meeting broke down on July 29 after nine days when the US refused to agree to proposals from India and China that they should be allowed to impose extra 25 per cent duties, if imports are up 15 per cent on farm products. The US said, the trigger for extra duty should be given only after imports surge by 40 per cent over the average of the preceding three years. "By the time we have 40 per cent surge in imports our farmers would have committed suicides," Nath said adding "this trigger was not acceptable". |
