Audio: Statement by Pascal Lamy to the TNC
04 09 2010 Lamy sees “new dynamic” emerging in negotiations — Director-General Pascal Lamy reported to an informal meeting of the Trade Negotiations Committee on 27 July that “after some months of impasse in negotiations, my own sense is that we are beginning to see signs of a new dynamic emerging”. He called on negotiators to “build on the new dynamic by expanding the small groups discussion to all areas,” adding that “somewhere around mid-October would be a good time to evaluate our progress”.

Audio of the launch in Geneva
04 09 2010 WTO report calls for more cooperation among governments in natural resource trade — Trading in natural resources creates a great many challenges both for importing and exporting countries and governments need to cooperate more intensively if these challenges are to be adequately addressed, according to WTO economists. Director-General Pascal Lamy said: “I believe not only that there is room for mutually beneficial negotiating trade-offs that encompass natural resources trade, but also that a failure to address these issues could be a recipe for growing tension in international trade relations”.

News from the US Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service

Farm Income and Costs
04 09 2010 The Farm Income and Costs briefing room provides indicators of economic performance for the U.S. farm sector and major crop and livestock farm groups. Farm balance sheet estimates are used by USDA and other public and private sector clients to form a perspective about the financial health of the U.S. agricultural economy. Distributional analyses identify sub-sectors and business types that are performing well relative to past trends and to other groups and types of farms. Identification of these businesses enables analysts to more closely examine factors contributing to financial performance, such as assessment of debt-repayment difficulties of specific farm types, industry sub-sectors, and regions of the country. The February 11 release is the first forecast of 2010 calendar year income for the farm sector, farm businesses, and households of farm operators. It is also the first forecast of 2010 value of farm assets and debts.

Outlook for U.S. Agricultural Trade
04 09 2010 Offers the latest forecast of value and volume of U.S. farm exports, by commodity and region, as well as the agricultural trade balance for the coming year. Keeps readers abreast of how U.S. agricultural trade stacks up in a global market. NOTE: Hog imports are revised on page 10 from 200 million head to 200,000 head.
