Farmers oppose trade plan
Including agriculture as an integral part
of bilateral trade negotiations with the United
States is neither likely to be useful nor
beneficial, Ontario Federation of Agriculture
(OFA) president Harry Pelissero said recent-
ly.
Speaking before a Queen's Park Select
Committee on Economic Affairs, Pelissero
stated that trade concessions demanded in
agriculture would likely jeopardize policies
seen as vital by Canadian farmers. He cited
as examples supply management, public
investment in transportation infrastructure
and stabilization.
There is a growing concern among farmers
that Canadian negotiators may trade off
importan agricultural policies in attempting
to reach ttreement on other matters, he said.
"We do not believe we can expect equally
substantial concessions corning in the oppo-
site direction," he told the committee.
"Market players are driven by national
interest and governed only slightly by a sense
of fair play."
The OFA brief, however, recommended
continued discussion with the United States
on protective actions taken against Canadian
agricultural exports, particularly in the areas
of countervail, anti-dumping and health
protection (antibiotics and pesticide resi-
dues). "These concerns are not integral to
bilateral trade negotiations in a specific
agricultural context, however, but rather are
part of general protocols negotiated under
GATT, he pointed out.
Ontario agriculture and food product
exporting is projected to be worth $2.1 billion
in 1985. Sixty percent (approximately $1.3
billion) goes to U.S. markets. Agri -food was
the only sector to increase trade continuously
through the 1981-82 recession.
This strength and performance has been
accomplished through risk taking, produc-
tion efficiency and technical innovation
initiated by Ontario farmers, Pelissero
declared. Continued and expanded develop-
ment of the U.S. market can be done tnmugh
more precise targetting and marketing, and
not in any generalized trade liberalization, he
added.
The Ontario Federation of Agriculture is a
volunteer n,..i :bership organization made up
of over 24,000 farm families as well as
commodity groups, marketing boards and
allied farming organizations across Ontario.
It is the largest organization of its kind in the
province.
