O Times mostra que a China começa a deslocar seu peso nas negociações das questões agrícolas no OMC para o sul, juntando-se ao Brasil, Índia, África do Sul e mais 9 países em desenvolvimento como Argentina, México e Tailândia.
Three large, rapidly industrialising nations, Brazil, India and South Africa, have joined hands with the worldÂ’s most populous country. The group comprises 12 others, including Argentina, Mexico and Thailand, but it is the four big guns, each a leading regional power, that pull the strings.

If the group survives it will be formidable, accounting for two thirds of the worldÂ’s farmers and more than half of its cereal production. Its members want to end US and EU farm subsidies but keep tariffs to protect their farmers from cheap American rice and wheat imports. In that respect they differ from the Cairns group, an alliance of farm exporters, including Canada and Australia. Once influential in the WTO, the Cairns lobby may see its star wane as the developing nations push their own interests.
Longa vida ao lobby dos relativamente pobres!
