TRADE:
US Deal Menaces Central American
Farmers - Report
A
pending trade deal between the
United States and Central
American countries could force
the collapse of rice production
in those six developing nations
and put thousands of farmers out
of business, a leading
development agency warned
Tuesday.
The Central American Free Trade
Agreement (CAFTA) is expected to
pass a vote in the U.S. Congress
in coming months. The deal ties
the Dominican Republic and five
Central American nations --
Costa Rica, El Salvador,
Guatemala, Honduras and
Nicaragua -- to the United
States.
Oxfam America said in its report
the deal, which will force an
end to import tariffs erected by
the Central American countries
while allowing the United States
to maintain hefty financing of
its system of internal supports
and export credits, will open
the doors to a flood of
lavishly-subsidised U.S. rice
exports. more
