Trading Injustice: The Ghana Tomato Story - PART 1 of 2


Tomato farmers in Ghana describe how unjust trade rules are destroying their livelihoods. Cheap subsidised tomatoes from Europe are being dumped in Ghana and preventing Ghanaian farmers from selling their locally grown produce. Meanwhile the World Trade Organisation, under pressure from the EU and US, is preventing the Ghanaian Government from protecting its farmers from these cheap imports. African Initiatives, a UK based NGO, is supporting these Ghanaian farmers to understand the international systems that are destroying their livelihoods and empowering them to influence the decision-making processes that are plunging them further into poverty.

Debate: The WTO and the economic recovery


http://www.wto.org/ 16.09.2010

What is the role of the WTO in contributing to the global economic recovery?

The financial and economic crisis that started in 2008 resulted in the sharpest decline of world trade since World War II. The recession also had a major impact on the rise of unemployment and poverty levels. How can trade and the WTO help supporting the economic recovery? Bill Reinsch, President of the US National Foreign Trade Council, and James Howard, Director of the Economic and Social Policy Department at the International Trade Union Confederation, shared their views on this topic with Keith Rockwell, WTO Spokesperson.
