Campaign with Oxfam

In the year 2001/02, US cotton exports to India more than tripled to over one million bales, and the US share of total Indian imports rose from 20 percent to 60 percent, greatly aided by huge subsidies from the American government. How can Indian cotton farmers compete?

Decisions made by governments, companies and individuals can have a devastating impact on people living in poverty. It is essential to promote development for everyone and this can be achieved through sustained public pressure. What do you think, isn't it time we ended poverty and injustice?
