Offering the world's Least Developed Countries (LDCs) unhindered access to European markets for all exports other than arms, the European Union's Everything but Arms programme is the most favourable of its preferential trade arrangements. This paper discusses the classification of LDCs and focuses on the geography of LDC sugar trade to suggest unintended consequences of the EBA programme in creating new country configurations in the global South.
