Developed countries are not likely to cut down on domestic support to the farm sector unless devloping countries provide them with higher market access, Rip Landes, senior economist with the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) said at Globoil India 2002 on the WTO agriculture negotiations.
Before any decisions came through, developing countries would have to give developed nations major concessions on market access to get developed country governments to agree to any reduction in domestic support.
