African farmers organize against “free trade” oligopolies
After decades suffering from dumping of agricultural products by Big Agriculture, African farmers have organized against World Trade Organization and International Monetary Fund policies that impoverish them. Their website is at ROPPA.info.
Free trade is protectionism for the rich.
If you still worry about free trade versus protectionism, an analysis of world food markets by Jacques Bertholet at this site will help you unwind your confusion. The free market theory falls apart under close analysis of Big Agriculture in the developed countries, subsidized by your taxpayer dollars. Bertholet explains why you should boycott Monsanto, Cargill, Bunge, Nestle, ADM, and other globalist food behemoths. As their oligopoly drives local farmers out of business, it becomes increasingly difficult to patronize small producers. Now Africa is fighting back. Which side are you on, global monopoly or local autonomy?
