Abstract: Many nations, particularly developing countries, overvalue their currencies. We measure the relative importance of exchange rate distortions for rice and wheat in five developing countries, 1982-1987, and find that exchange rate distortions have {in many cases) completely offset positive sectoral policy interventions, to the detriment of agricultural producers in developing countries.
