If America can grow cotton cheaper than anyone else in the world then there is no reason we should not sell it for the lowest price we can and dominate the market.
but the problem is that the USA can only put the cotton out at this price because the US tax payer is helping to foot the bill. And yes, EU countries also pump in a lot of government subsity to keep farming corporations happy.
Both the EU and USA should be condemned for denying the poorer farmers in other nations the chance to get a fiar price for their goods.
