The United States-Brazil cotton dispute was a World Trade Organization dispute settlement case (DS267) on the issue of unfair subsidies on cotton. In 2002, Brazil — a major cotton export competitor — expressed its growing concerns about United States cotton subsidies by initiating a WTO dispute settlement case (DS267) against certain features of the U.S. cotton program. On September 8, 2004, a WTO dispute settlement (DS) panel ruled against the United States on several key issues in case.[1] The United States is the second-largest producer and world’s largest exporter of cotton in the world. In recent years, the United States has been exporting an increasing share of its annual production, due in large part to a decline in domestic mill use.[1] On August 31, 2009, after a series of recourses by both United States and Brazil, WTO issued a decision on the dispute DS267[2][3]. The implications of the ruling are that it shows that the US and European Union have used loopholes and creative accounting to continue dumping products on developing markets, hurting impoverished developing country farmers. The WTO dispute settlement panel also found that the USA misreported certain programmes as ‘non trade-distorting’, when in fact they were trade-distorting [4].
