The effect of the free trade agreement with the US on cotton farmers in Peri: Cotton is No Longer ‘White Gold’
Overview
Agriculture employs nearly a quarter of the people in Peru, and cotton is a major crop. The proposed Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between the US and Peru threatens the livelihoods of thousands of cotton farmers in Peru. If the agreement comes into force more heavily subsidised US cotton will flood the Peruvian market, pushing down prices and destroying livelihoods.
