Did you know that in our world today:
Trade
The United Nations estimates that unfair trade rules deny poor countries $700 billion every year. Less than 0.01% of this could save the sight of 30 million people. (Source:ChristianAid)
International trade is worth $10 million a minute. 70% of this is controlled by multinational corporations. (Source:ChristianAid)
The poorest 49 countries make up 10% of the world's population but account for only 0.4% of world trade. Their share has halved since 1980. (Source:ChristianAid)
World trade robs poor countries of £1.3 billion a day - 14 times what they get in aid. (Source:CAFOD, 2003)
The prices of many poor countries' key exports are at a 150-year low. (Source:ChristianAid)
It's estimated that rich countries are gaining $141.8 billion per year in trade and Africa is $2.6 billion per year worse off. (Source:ChristianAid)
Rich countries spend $100 billion a year to protect their markets with tariffs, quotas and subsidies - this is twice as much as they provide in aid for developing countries. (Source:Oxfam)
Current trade rules force Mexican farmers who live on a dollar a day to compete with American farmers receiving subsidies of more than US$20,000 a year. (Source:ChristianAid)
The average cow in the EU receives more than $2 a day in subsidies, whilst more than 3 billion people in developing countries are struggling to survive on less than this. (Source:Cafod)
The EU gives $86.8 billion a year to its farmers in subsidies. Just $5 billion could help give everyone in the world access to safe water and sanitation. (Source)
On average, coffee farmers are getting $1 a kilogram while consumers are paying about $15 - a mark up of 1500%. (Source: Oxfam)
