Abstract: The Doha cycle set off in 2001 was put off sine die after the failures of the negotiations that took place in June and July 2006. Once again the agricultural issue constituted a stumbling block even though the literature has been making constant efforts in order to demonstrate the surplus of welfare that could reasonably be expected from a wide opening of the agricultural goods? world trade. By having access to the industrialized countries markets, developing economies could find their way out of poverty. The present debates about the benefits to be drawn from the liberalization of agricultural exchanges echo a classical economic thought that needs to be revisited if one wishes to grasp all the issues at stake. Because it is still up to date, Malthus vision is offering a sound analytical framework for that purpose.
