	WTO Hands a Critical Victory to African Farmers
		Last September's WTO ministerial meeting in Cancun failed to produce a substantive trade agreement after a group of developing countries banded together to demand the EU and the US discontinue their multi-billion dollar subsidy programs.
		For Africa's small farmers, the long path to victory in the WTO began with cotton producers' associations across West Africa.
		A relatively new crop introduced after independence in the 1960s, cotton was at one time a viable cash crop that yielded enough profits for farmers to give it the nickname “white gold.” But international cotton prices began to fall in the 1990s, and hit a 30-year low in 2001.
