WHY IS AGRICULTURAL TRADE LIBERALIZATION AT A S...

Trans-border trade in agricultural goods still faces immense hurdles at the beginning of the
21st century. The USA and the EU  for example  have been protecting their markets through
domestic support  export subsidies and various barriers to market access. They have thus
prevented many developing countries from exporting agricultural goods in which they have a
comparative advantage to them. As a result  developing countries have demanded that the ninth
round of negotiations at the World Trade Organization resolves the issue of agricultural
protection. Gabriel Ngwe reviews the agricultural policy of the USA  the EC and the G20 prior
to 2001 and discusses the evolving of negotiations from 2001 to 2006. He further explains which
parties played which role in the negotiations. Furthermore  he proposes solutions how to
overcome the stalemate.
