Level the playing field, says Botswana’s minister of trade and industry

WASHINGTON - Agricultural subsidies provided to farmers in developed countries create an unfair advantage, Botswana's Minister of Trade and Industry Daniel Moroka said Tuesday at the seventh African Growth and Opportunity Act forum held at the U.S. State Department.

"We should insist on a level playing field," the minister said, "especially in agriculture."

He added that developed countries are stalling the Doha Round of talks over this issue.
