The International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development (ICTSD) is pleased to organize a lunchtime dialogue on “How a trade deal on cotton could affect exporting and importing countries”. The dialogue is to take place from 1.00 p.m. to 3.00 p.m. on November 20th, 2009 at the World Meteorological Organization in Geneva.

At this event, Mario Jales from Cornell University will present the findings of research he has conducted on the implications for importing and exporting countries of various scenarios for trade in cotton. Using an economic model and empirical data, Mr. Jales will present an assessment of what he considers to be the likely impact on various countries of different negotiating outcomes.  ICTSD hopes that the findings of his research will help to provide policy-makers, negotiators and other stakeholders with a clear and accurate assessment of the likely implications of various trade policy options.
