United States–Brazil cotton dispute
- United States–Brazil cotton dispute
The United States-Brazil cotton dispute was a World Trade Organization dispute settlement case (DS267) on the issue of unfair subsidies on cotton. In 2002, Brazil — a major cotton export competitor — expressed its growing concerns about United States cotton subsidies by initiating a WTO dispute settlement case (DS267) against certain features of the U.S. cotton program. On September 8, 2004, a WTO dispute settlement (DS) panel ruled against the United States on several key issues in case.[cite web|url=http://www.nationalaglawcenter.org/assets/crs/RL32571.pdf|title=Brazil’s WTO Case Against the U.S. Cotton Program|last=Schnepf|first=Randy|date=January 25, 2008|publisher=Congressional Research Service|language=English|accessdate=2008-07-30] ]The United States is the second-largest producer and world’s largest exporter of cotton in the world. In recent years, the United States has been exporting an increasing share of its annual production, due in large part to a decline in domestic mill use.
