Oecd Review Of Agricultural Policies Brazil

This OECD Review measures the level and composition of support to Brazilian agriculture, and evaluates the effectiveness of current measures in attaining their objectives.

This publication examines Brazil's agricultural sector, including policy challenges and economic reforms, support measures and the effectiveness of current measures. Findings include that Brazil provides much lower level of support to its agricultural sector than most OECD countries, a large and increasing share of which is provided through credit subsidies. This support could be more productively oriented to areas such as research and extension, training, and the development of rural infrastructure, in order to help sustain improvements in international competitiveness, and at the same time draw poor smallholders into the development process.

These reviews present a comprehensive overview and assessment of subject countries' agricultural policies combined with OECD estimates of the level of support provided to their farm sectors. They also examine such issues as welfare impacts of liberalisation; agricultural commodity markets; grain stock estimates; labour and food safety.
