Topics:
1. You are a small cotton grower in Brazil. Analyze the impact of the final settlement on your potential for economic growth. Consider both domestic and international factors.

2. You are a large cotton grower in any country other than Brazil or the US (pick your own country). Analyze the impact of the final settlement on your potential for economic growth. Consider both domestic and international factors.

We will be discussing the Brazil Upland Cotton case in class (international trade), but I do not want to read a rehashing of what we talked about. I want to see your independent analysis and research.
