| Agricultural Policies in Emerging
Economies: Monitoring and Evaluation analyzes policy agricultural
developments during 2006-2008 in seven economies: Brazil, Chile, China, India,
Russia, South Africa and Ukraine. The report follows the same approach applied
to OECD Member countries. It provides a common benchmark for evaluating reforms
and for facilitating international dialogue. A comprehensive statistical annex
containing over 50 tables and a wide range of contextual information for these
countries is also included. This book includes StatLinks, URLs under tables and
graphs linking to Excel® spreadsheet files containing the underlying
data. The 2006-2008 period was marked by a significant increase in world prices for most, but not all, agricultural commodities. Policy responses to rising food prices included tariff reductions, export restrictions, increased minimum prices and price controls, input subsidies, sales of stocks and direct transfers to the most disadvantaged. Other major common policy developments included: expanded government-supported credit facilities and/or debt rescheduling, endeavours to improve the delivery and performance of agricultural policies, extended coverage of insurance programmes and further efforts in land reform. Estimates of support to agriculture in six economies (India is not yet covered) from 1995 to 2007 are provided, in conformance with recent changes to the OECD measurement methodology. This allows a consistent comparison across emerging economies and with OECD countries in terms of changes in the level and composition of support to producers and the sector as a whole.
