Procurement Operations. In general, the AoA requires that pro- curement of foodgrains for maintaining stocks should be at market prices (imply- ing that they should not be higher than market prices) and that it should not be protectionist in the sense that it should not exceed the world price (a predetermined ErP, committed as part of the AoA).4 The commitments under the WTO AoA are in the form of an Aggregate Measure of Support (AMS), which is the difference between government support price and a fixed ErP multiplied by the total quan- tity of agricultural product eligible for that support, represented as a percentage of total value of the production of the commodity (assessed at the administered price). The allowable limit for develop- ing countries (called the de minimis sup- port) is 10% of the total value of agricul- tural production. There are however a few technical issues involved in computation that are outlined in Annex 3 of the AoA. First, the ErP is fixed at the 1986-89 base period. For India, the ErP is fixed at Rs 3,520 ($262.5) per metric tonne for rice and Rs 3,540 ($264) per metric tonne for wheat. India’s base year notification (G/AG/AGST/IND) was denominated in Indian rupees (INr), although in later years, India used an ErP denominated in dollars to compute the AMS. Article I (h)(ii) of the AoA speci- fies that in calculating the current AMS the constituent data and methodology used in the original notification or supporting tables have to be used (Hoda and Gulati 2013). This use of a dollar ErP is there- fore not in conformity with the require- ments of the AoA. It is expected that the government of India will provide revised notifications. If the ErP is established in INr then the figures for domestic support would account for neither domestic in- flation nor for changes in the dollar-rupee exchange rate. An ErP denominated in dollars would factor in exchange rate movements so that even if the ErP is fixed, the conversion of the domestic MSP into dollars would be at current exchange rates. This article computes support for rice and wheat using both methods for expository purposes. Second, the reduction commitments with respect to the AMS imply different things for different members. For those WTO members who have undertaken reduction commitments because their domestic support exceeded the de minimis for the base period, the limits prescribed for support are with respect to the total AMS summed over all the commodities for which support is provided, expressed ...
