The Latin American debt problem and U.S. agriculture

Abstract: U.S. agriculture and Latin American countries share some important common ground -a steady stream of agricultural trade between the United States and Latin America. As U.S. agriculture emerges from its debt problem of the 1980s and the problem lingers on in Latin America, both economies stand to benefit from macroeconomic and trade policies that encourage global economic growth.
