I'll start from what I know. France recently pulled what other European nations might call 'a fast one' over sugar; the production and the market position. France has conveniently positioned itself as the still-owners of their colonial agri-production areas. They still channel subsidies there, they still include certain areas as part of their production land mass for subsidy-claiming purposes and they still say that the production can legitimately go onto the European market. And it does. I know for a fact that this includes certain parts of the Caribbean but what of Senegal, Mali, other Francophone countries near to Gambia? And is this a good thing or not?
