Question: Is the U.S. dumping agriculture commodities onto the world
market?

Answer: Yes. This report analyzed costs for five U.S. grown
commodities using data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)
to compare the cost of production with farmgate and export price. In
2001, wheat was dumped at a level of 44 percent, soybeans at 29
percent, corn at 33 percent, cotton at 57 percent, and rice at 22
percent. The details, including cost of production and export prices,
for each commodity can be found beginning on page 20 of the report.
