WTO AGREEMENT ON AGRICULTUREWto Agreement on Agriculture • September 30th, 2021
The domestic support systems in agriculture are governed by the Agreement on Agriculture (AoA), which entered into force in 1995 and was negotiated during the Uruguay Round (1986-1994). The long-term goal of the AoA is to establish a fair and market-oriented agricultural trading system and to initiate a reform process through the negotiations of commitments on support and protection, and through the establishment of strengthened and more operationally effective rules and discipline. Agriculture is therefore special because the sector has its own agreement, whose provisions prevail.

Asymmetries in the WTO agreement on agricultureWto Agreement on Agriculture • December 14th, 2022
At the WTO, the Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) marked a crucial step to- wards establishing “a fair and market-oriented agricultural trading system”. However, this agreement is riddled with many asymmetries and imbalances, which have been detrimental to the interests of many developing countries. This chapter identifies how the countries that were distorting markets through high tariffs, a plethora of non-tariff barriers, and high subsidies, prior to 1995, secured the right under the AoA to continue to distort markets through such tariffs and subsidies. On the other hand, countries that were more disciplined in terms of few or no non-tariff barriers and low subsidies in the pre-WTO pe- riod, lost the right to protect their farm sector. The paper concludes that if the WTO members have to fulfill the objective of establishing a “fair and market- oriented agricultural trading system”, then the first step in future multilateral negotiations in agriculture must set right the asymmetries and

Abstract: The Agreement on Agriculture (AOA) was enforced when the World Trade Organisation (WTO) was established on 1st January 1995. A series of trade negotiations and rounds were held under GATT which led to the formation of the developed system for trade. The sole organisation that governs and promotes international trade is the World Trade Organization. The negotiations also produced the Agriculture Agreement, which aims to reduce the countries' agricultural subsidies and other forms of assistance for domestic farmers. Since agriculture provides the primary means of subsistence for the majority of people in developing nations like India, the WTO's globalisation of agriculture is a constant source of worry for them. In India around 45% of the workforce is engaged in the agricultural sector and contributes around 15% of the GDP of the nation. The government of India has set a target to double the agricultural exports to the US dollar 60 billion and also to double the income of the f

Food security was a focus of Indonesia’s agricultural policy in 1980s to 1990s. The effort to achieve food security was liberalizing agriculture sec- tor by reducing import tariff for certain comodities.
