Dumping agricultural goods

Implementation

In Europe, the Common Agricultural Policy supports the dumping of goods onto the world market. 15 years ago the EEC/EU was less than self-sufficient sugar; in 1994, one third of its production is dumped at heavily subsidized prices on the world market. This has substantially depressed prices.
