Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Protectionist policies in developed countries, like subsidies for farmers, make it difficult for less developed countries to compete in these markets because their cheaper agricultural products cannot easily be sold. This is due to the fact that subsidies lower the cost of production for domestic farmers in developed countries, making their products cheaper or more competitive than those from less developed countries, even if the latter can produce the goods more cheaply without subsidies.
