What is the U.S. position in the WTO agricultural negotiations?
A. The United States is pursuing trade liberalization with many developed and developing countries. Having access to growing foreign agriculture markets is essential to U.S. farmers who produce far more than domestic buyers can consume. Trade negotiations and policies boost prospects for food and agricultural markets in developing countries by stimulating economic growth and development. With access to growing markets, American producers will have greater opportunities to grow and develop their businesses. For developing country consumers, liberalized agricultural trade policies mean better and more diverse diets and rising incomes that foster development and growth. For American consumers, liberalized agricultural trade policies mean even greater access to the bounty of global markets.
