Abstract

While attending a major conference on the Future of the World Trade Organization (WTO) recently, I noticed that few delegates attended the session on international agricultural trade. This seeming lack of interest was striking for two reasons. First, international markets for agricultural products are highly distorted because states use quotas and subsidies to manipulate the supply and demand for agricultural products, which in turn affects the price of those goods both on domestic and international markets.1 Notwithstanding numerous efforts between 1947 and 1995 to liberalize agricultural trade and return it to a more market-led approach, the sector remained largely outside international regulation under the rules in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (the GATT).
