The article discusses the highlights of the "early harvest" talks of the Doha Development Round, also called the Doha Development Agenda (DDA) as of July 2011. It states that the talks aim to have richer nations lower tariffs on the agricultural, chemical and electronic products of 48 of the least developed countries (LDC). It reports though talks were expected to end by December, the U.S. has ended any hopes of continued negotiations with their refusal on several points. It claims that China, by contrast, supports the development of these LDCs.
