The Cairns Group Perspective

Chapter 5 in Agriculture in the Uruguay Round, 1994, pp 88-109 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Although there are few countries which leave incentives in their farm sectors undistorted, there are many in which the economy-wide pattern of protection does not favour agriculture as a whole. Convention in the theory of trade protection (Anderson and Hayami, 1986; Vousden, 1990) would lead us to expect that most agricultural exporting countries would be members of this latter group. The principal modern exceptions, of course, are the EC and the United States, both of which now protect exporting agricultural sectors. These exceptions aside, the predominant agricultural exporting countries are indeed among those whose patterns of protection do not assist agriculture.
