Within the context of the recurring debate over free versus fair trade, the Doha round is supposed to tackle what are probably the most inequitable aspects of world trade: a highly restricted access, for developing countries' farm products, to rich countries' markets, and the heavy subsidisation of agricultural production in rich economies, undermining farm production in developing countries.
U kontekstu hronične debate o slobodnoj nasuprot pravednoj trgovini, Doha runda trebalo bi da se bavi verovatno najnepravednijim aspektima svetske trgovine: veoma ograničenim pristupom poljoprivrednih proizvoda iz zemalja u razvoju tržištima bogatih zemalja i visokim subvencijama za poljoprivrednu proizvodnju u bogatim zemljama -praksom zbog koje je poljoprivreda u zemljama u razvoju u velikim teškoćama.
