European subsidies produce other weird anomalies. Europe is now the second largest sugar exporter in the world, from being a net importer 30 years ago. European sugar is made from sugar beets grown in such unlikely places as Finland, better known as a mobile phone producer. That hurts poorer countries much better suited to producing sugar, such as Haiti, Mozambique and Thailand.
But cotton has become a symbol of the inequities of the current system. Mamadou Goita, a Malian activist, calls cotton 'a kind of school for us. It allows us to analyze the way things are going. If we see progress on cotton, we're hopeful that the developing world can convince the West that it needs to change the whole system. So far, we have seen not much.'
Mayor Sissoko sees things more simply. Sitting with his bare feet brushing the dusty floor beside a battered pair of white flip-flops, he shakes his head at a description of an air-conditioned tractor common in the U.S. and Europe. 'The farmers there don't sweat,' he says. 'We are sweating here.'
