500    A Rough Deal explores the difficulties facing Guyana, a 
       small developing country in South America, very much 
       dependent on agriculture for its survival.  Rice and sugar,
       the two most important sectors of Guyana's economy, are 
       subject to the vagaries of the global markets, and the too
       often un-development friendly trade policies of the EU and
       US, which place farmers in developing countries in 
       extremely precarious positions.  But family farmers from 
       the developing countries, like Ireland, also find 
       themselves struggling in light of these trade policies, 
       which favour corportate agriculture.  Paddy Harrington, a 
       farmer from Cork, travels to Guyana to meet sugar-cane 
       cutters in the plantations, rice farmers and millers, and 
       Amerindian cocoa growers in a heavily forested region near
       the Venezuelan border.  He finds many differences between 
       farmers in Ireland and Guyana, but also discovers that 
       they have much more in common than one might think...
