WTO is rigged. It was created with well thought rules that favour rich countries and big businesses. Our sugarcane producers are the latest to be caught in that game called Free Trade with Rigged Rules. #Brazil under #Bolsonaro has dragged India to the WTO dispute settlement body
The funny part is, unlike in the case of a couple of other agri commodities, the government does not actually procure from farmers or pay them any Fair and Remunerative Prices as they are called. But even the announcement of FRP is under challenge. #RiggedWTO
And to challenge this, funny calculations that do not account for inflation over the years are used. Meanwhile, rich countries continue to pay more and more subsidies. WTO is not going to change any more than #Bolsonaro. Get Agri out of WTO #NoBolsonaro #NoWTO @Devinder_Sharma
Should India be having Bolsonaro, who is directly jeopardising 5 crore farm families as Chief Guest
