Question

When U.S. farmers or producers get subsidies from the federal government, what is intended? Why do farmers and other food producers in poor countries say that this practice hurts them?

Answer 1

Farm subsidies are intended to alleviate farmer poverty, but the majority of subsidies go to commercial farms with average incomes of $200,000 and net worths of nearly $2 million. Farm subsidies are intended to raise farmer incomes by remedying low crop prices.
