  • Summary

    Drawing on 1,384 notifications, this chapter demonstrates increased nominal support concentrated among few members that has declined as a percentage of world agricultural value of production, with a shift toward relatively more support by developing country members. Trade-distorting Art. 6 support, subject to limit or exempt, has declined even nominally, while rising in China and India. There is a substantial shift toward green box support that accounts in recent years for nearly 80% of all support, with China accounting for over 40% of these expenditures. Given the exemptions and unused space for support subject to limits, the Agreement has not required members to lower their distortionary support. It has, however, provided guidance to policy evolution and a basis for benchmarking members’ support decisions. The trends and levels of Art. 6 and green box support reflect both members’ policy changes and continuing differences in their chosen support measures.
