Question

What are the issues of WTO regarding giving subsidies??

Answer 1

WTO is giving subsidies in exchange for exploitation of the natural resources.

Answer 2

Well, in agriculture for one...Western countries give subsidy to protect their farmers. for example, if it costs 3usd for growing 1 kg of paddy, their government will give subsidies to the farmers so that the farmers get enough money as subsidy and they can sell their product at 1 usd instead of 3usd. Countries like India might produce the paddy actually at usd 2 itself but we still will not be able to compete because of the protection that their farmers get from their government. They are just making money elsewhere and are protecting their farmers so that their agriculture isnt fully gone. India is fighting because just as they want to protect something of theirs that we can't. It's not fair trade. We will have to keep our market open where as they won't.
