What's At Stake American Jobs America's agricultural sector is one of our country's great success stories. The future of the U.S. agricultural economy depends upon the elimination of trade barriers and continued increases in agricultural exports.
American farmers are the most efficient in the world.
Other Pending WTO Cases Of the nearly 50 complaints filed by the United States in the WTO, almost 30 percent involve agriculture. In fact, U.S. agriculture has used the WTO dispute settlement process more than any other sector of American commerce. The many agricultural disputes pending in the WTO will affect billions of dollars worth of U.S. farm commodities and business interests. If the pending WTO disputes are not resolved satisfactorily, other commodities and goods could fall victim, creating a domino effect. If the United States steadfastly insists upon full compliance with international trade rules, the WTO will be effective.
