Despite living in a globalizad economy, where international trade is the norm and most of the products we use daily are manufactured abroad, agriculture is the still an island of protectionism. Farms are extremely protected all over the world. Is not easy to find a country that has no tariffs, subsidies or quotas for their Primary sector.
In Europe, the Common Agricultural Policy –also known as CAP—means over 72 billion USD to the European budget. But the Brexit has become a turning point to this. Since Great Britain was one of the biggest net contributor to CAP, Brussels must cut a lot of those subsidies and, gradually, starting a liberalization.
Are we witnessing the end of the CAP in Europe? Could this be a model for other countries? Shall we see an end for agriculture protectionism all over the world? We will answer to all of this questions on this video.

Macron had to cut the subsidies to pay for the increasing police presence in Paris!
In Bangladesh, farmers' children don't want to be farmers any more. They want to have modern education and live in the cities. They prefer to be engineers, doctors, professors, etc, and they are becoming so. They want to have a prestigious position in society. Who will then cultivate lands in the future? Who will grow food?
The Argentinian government don't subsidy the farmers, instead it's stole from them through "retentions" plus taxes.

When you talk about cheap african sugar it surprises me, 2:33 I mean Finland, you know that EU country between Sweden and Soviet Russia. We used to grow crazy amount of sugars when you think about that 98% of the land is forests instead of fields, so EU said that fuck you and your sugar, you need to buy it from Africa because they are so poor and we need to help them. This is what Spanish, French, British and Italians like to think. Let Africa make our food, lets dig their oil, gold and diamonds, but hey Finland never had part of this cruelty and stealing from the African people. If you buy sugar from africa you should pay them 50 cents per kilo but now you pay like 1 cent, then somebody sells it in shop and they put this fake "fair trade" label in the package. It's a hoax, they just want to take your money and kill the agriculture of Scandinavia
sounds like importing african agricultural goods (for a fair price) is a win win? honest question.
Those aren’t trade wars disputes. Trade Wars are broader… than just a sector.

Stop with your shitty tone. And stop with the "I mean" and "actually" every 2 sentences. And tell about the benefits of protecting European farmers.
There is condemnation of the CAP because it pays huge sums to wealthy landowners to do absolutely nothing with their land, paying them to protect the environment. Sounds daft, but what is really questionable is why these mega landowners can have so much inherited land, sometimes acquired during unsavory times in the UK's history.
Do a bulgarian job,don't be so global.
The Yellow Vest protest are disproportionately from rural areas. Did the end of the CAP in France play a significant role in the protest?
In Ireland, got Turkish figs, California raisins, Thai chilli sauce, south African grapes
Yes I do know where my gas came from. Norway.

I live in Sweden (EU). I've gotten plenty of Russian Kefir.
These subsidies should be stopped for all farmers in all countries, they'll get a fair competition and we get it at cheeper price. Indian government increased the tariff on peas and that lead to a big turbulence in the market of processing factories which lead to crisis in the flour prices and their products and subsequently the citizens had to pay more to get the same thing just because the flour was made from indigenous peas. Why way the tariff increased ? Just for the VOTES !!! Appearently There are lot of farmers in India and if the political party wants to stay in power you gotta keep farmers Happy regardless of other citizens' problems. Is there any solution to this ? Probably we shouldn't apply these kinda sh**ty strategy to the next planet we colonize…
About 20% of food in the UK comes from outside the UK and EU (check Defra). Tea and coffee, nuts etc come from other countries. But having food with less food miles, grown more locally is surely a good thing?
What? Europe did nothing but, We Holland did it for you
EU is fascistic!!!!
