 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that the U.S. government and the governments of other industrial countries should: (1) examine ways to accelerate the elimination or phase-out of agricultural subsidies; (2) work with their African counterparts to remove non-tariff barriers to African agricultural imports; and (3) work with the governments of least developed African countries to minimize the economic impact of an opening of African markets to foreign goods.
