Consider the trade dispute case below and answer the questions: You are a World Trade Organization task force member reviewing the classic nine-year banana conflict between the United States and the European Union. Your job is to identify lessons that can be applied to future agricultural trade disputes.  The EU gave preferential treatment to banana exporters from Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific island nations. It supported struggling economies for which bananas make up a large portion of their income. The United States challenged the policy as unfair trading, and the World Trade Organization agreed. The US action gained support from global fruit companies Dole, Chiquita, and Del Monte, which account for nearly two-thirds of the fruit traded worldwide.
