OMC : Gli Africani a Hong Kong

Ndiogou FallNdiogou Fall

"Gli Africani sono stati molto presenti e hanno saputo restare uniti", stima Ndiogou Fall, [presidente di un collettivo di paesi africani che ha assistito alla Conferenza dell' Organizzazione mondiale del commercio (OMC) dal 13 al 18 dicembre a Hong Kong. Di fatto, i ministri che, durante la notte, prendevano parte a delle discussioni ufficiose consultavano regolarmente i loro pari. Un "débriefing" aveva luogo tutte le mattine, prima della ripresa delle udienze pubbliche. Quanto alle ONG africane hanno moltiplicato le conferenze stampa e gli incontri con le diverse delegazioni per " poter fare pesare sui dibattiti e attirare l'attenzione su una serie di dossier ". "I ministri hanno sentito la necessità di appoggiarsi sulla Società Civile ", ha concluso Fall.

Commento e analisi

Economic theory should be taken with a pinch of salt

Sir, it’s over-simplistic to suggest that developing countries can gain more from reforming their own agricultural trade policies than from trade liberalisation by the industrialised world (“FAO says reforms ‘best from within’”, December -8).

The new report from the UN -Food and Agriculture Organisation is based on economic models and scenarios that tend to over-simplify reality, assume perfect competition and ignore African infrastructural problems such as roads and transport. Economic theory can help frame reality, but should be taken with a pinch of salt.

The report claims that net food-importing countries will be worse off due to agricultural reform in the rich world and says reduced subsidies will decrease production in these countries, with lower global production and higher market prices for their consumers.

Yet the scenario ignores the capacity of international and local production to increase and compensate for rich countries’ lower agricultural production and both poor people and consumers to substitute other food products.

In addition, the idea that people in poor countries will benefit from cheap, subsidised farm imports forgets that many consumers are also producers.

If domestic markets are flooded with produce wich undercuts their prices,

they cannot sell the crops to buy other goods. This would deliver a servere blow to Africa, where most people rely on selling agricultural products for cash.

People in developing countries want to determine their own future, food security and development-not depend on cheap subsidies ans stop forcing the developing world to open its markets to unifair competition, a brighter tomorrow remains a forlorn hope for millions of the world’s poorest people.
