Overview
This study produces an objective, unbiased comparison of the support provided to agricultural producers in different countries around the world. The comparative analysis assesses the level of the support provided, but particularly also its nature. Different agricultural policy instruments are categorised and an evaluation is made of the extent to which the measures are achieving their desired objectives.
