Special Session
THE EFFECTS OF THE REDUCTION COMMITMENTS ON
WORLD TRADE IN AGRICULTURE
Statistical Background Paper by the Secretariat
Addendum
- At the second Special Session of the Committee on Agriculture on 29-30 June 2000, it was agreed that the Secretariat would provide, inter alia, additional data on Members' agricultural trade performance in the context of Article 20(b) concerning the effects of the reduction commitments on world trade in agriculture (paragraph 7(h) of G/AG/NG/2 refers). The present addendum to the statistical background paper by the Secretariat G/AG/NG/S/11 dated 9 June 2000 is a first contribution in this regard.
- Table 1 shows each Member's average market share in the value of world exports of agricultural products in the periods 1986-90, 1991-94 and 1995-98.[1] Table 1 also includes corresponding information for non-Members as a group. Members are ranked in descending order based on their market shares in 1998 (right-hand column of Table 1 refers). The underlying data for Table 1, i.e. the US dollar values of Members' exports of agricultural products, are shown in Table 2. Tables 3 and 4 provide the corresponding data with regard to imports of agricultural products. Table5 presents for each Member the sum of exports and imports of agricultural products ("combined trade") in US dollars. Members are ranked based on the value of their combined trade in agricultural products in 1998. Table 6 provides each Member's trade balance with respect to agricultural products. Members are ranked based on the value of their net-exports of agricultural products (positive figures) in 1998. Negative figures mean that the Member concerned was a net-importer.
- The data have been taken from the FAO database "FAOSTAT" ( It may be noted that the FAO definition of agricultural products comes close, but is not identical, to the product coverage of the Agreement on Agriculture as defined in Annex 1 thereto. For example, products such as natural rubber and certain natural fibres (jute, sisal, coir and others),[2] are covered by the FAO definition but not by the Agreement on Agriculture. While these differences in product coverage are not significant in terms of total world trade in agricultural products, in the case of some Members they matter.[3] More detailed technical notes with respect to the data are contained in G/AG/NG/S/11. Finally, the symbol "-" has been used in the tables to denote not available or not applicable.

______
[1] The EC data refer to the EC (15) as from 1986. The individual EC member States are not covered.
[2] HS headings No. 40.01 (natural rubber) and 53.03 to 53.05 (textile fibres) refer.
[3] In some countries a significant portion of agricultural trade is in products such as jute or natural rubber. For example, in Bangladesh jute and allied fibres contributed 50 per cent to the export value of total agricultural products in 1998. In Malaysia, natural dry rubber accounted for 8 per cent of total agricultural export earnings in 1998 (FAO).
