Agriculture - Interests and challenges in the WTO
Lígia Dutra – Head of International Relations

Agricultural Negotiations Background
The Doha Round – 2001/2017
Development Round with few results for agriculture!
Export Competition – Although limited, some results
Market Access – Most likely to be decided bilaterally
Domestic Support – Must be addressed urgently – Buenos Aires
is the time and place!
Domestic Support, when subsidized in great amounts and not respecting the
WTO rules for notifying, and the monitoring mechanisms, distort global
agricultural trade and, therefore, harm Mercosur farmers!

International scenario with increasing
challenges

Importance to build regional strength!
Mercosur and its trading partners must consolidate their position at the
WTO!
Mercosur
Biggest food
producing
countries
WTO
For this reason, since 2015, CNA has established close contact with
Brazilian and other representatives in Geneva in order to set the
priorities for farmers!

Main issues to consider bringing to MC11
3 - Transparency
i. Strengthen SPS and TBT
notification system in order to compel
all WTO members to keep up-to-date
notifications of new regulations.
ii. Strengthen the system of
notifications regarding domestic
support programs with special
attention to programs regarding
formation of public stockholding for
food security.
1 - Domestic Support
Limit subsidies to agricultural production aimed
at exports (including cotton). Advance in the
negotiation of document JOB / AG / 72 (Brazil,
Argentina, Paraguay and Colombia) with
emphasis on options 3 and 4.
2 - Market access
Negotiate the reduction of tariff peaks and tariff
escalation for agricultural products.

4 - Prevalence of science-based regulation
Recognize the prevalence of international standards issued by recognized science-
based organizations, such as CODEX Alimentarius/FAO and the World Organization
for Animal Health (OIE), which should be supported by the best scientific knowledge
available. Compel WTO members to report any regulation adopted that are
inconsistent with current international standards, mentioning the scientific rationale
used.
5 - Biotechnology
Recognize that biotechnology is essential for the future of global food security and
therefore needs to be addressed on the basis of science with clear and transparent
marketing rules that bring predictability and legal certainty to grain and cereal
producers.
Main issues to consider bringing to MC11

Thank you!

The document outlines the Netherlands' priorities for the 2021 Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). It discusses strengthening market orientation while maintaining a safety net, transitioning direct payments to those for public goods like environmental protection, taking an integrated approach to sustainability goals, expanding the CAP to a common agriculture and food policy, and simplifying regulations. The key priorities are ensuring market orientation, payments for environmental services, an holistic sustainability approach, and simplification through subsidiarity and risk-based controls.

The document summarizes Estonia's position on the future of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) post-2020. It calls for: 1) Continuing reforms to establish response mechanisms for crises while maintaining market orientation and equal competition; 2) A strong, ambitious EU budget to address societal challenges with financing that relies less on national funding; 3) Harmonizing direct payment levels across member states while limiting coupled support and using part of direct payments for risk management tools.

bILIANA PANCHEVA

Copa and Cogeca represent over 23 million European farmers and 22,000 agricultural cooperatives. They advocate for a strong Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) post-2020 with simplified rules and support for farmers. Key priorities include maintaining CAP funding levels, improving market resilience through risk management tools, strengthening farmers' position in food supply chains, supporting rural development and investment, and facilitating generational renewal in farming. The timeline for negotiating the future CAP includes a public consultation concluding in May 2017 and legislative proposals expected in early 2018.

This document discusses how agricultural cooperatives help farmers exploit economies of scale. It explains that larger farm sizes have become more efficient due to technological developments. Cooperatives allow farmers to work together to gain the benefits of scale, such as lower input costs and higher selling prices, by collectively marketing products. They also invest profits back into the industry to support competitiveness. Cooperatives facilitate economies of scale at the producer level by basing pricing models partially on production volumes. This coordination and integration along the value chain provides cooperatives with competitive advantages.

The document summarizes a Horizon 2020 funding opportunity called "Food Systems Africa" that aims to implement the EU-African Union partnership on food and nutrition security. It seeks projects on sustainable post-harvest technologies, food safety, reducing food waste, and connecting small farmers and food businesses to local and global markets. The expected impact is sustainable and healthy diets in 10 African cities, empowering small farmers and food SMEs, and reducing malnutrition for children under 1000 days. It requires participation from several African regions and countries, with a total budget of 21 million euros and proposals requesting up to 7 million euros in EU contribution.

Disciplining Domestic Support in the context of WTO MC12

David Laborde

The upcoming WTO Ministerial in late November will provide yet another opportunity to address and reform agricultural domestic support. The domestic support pillar has been at the heart of the agricultural negotiations since they began in 2000, but it has proven challenging to achieve consensus on how to advance reforms. In fact, domestic support levels remain high and have risen in recent years. This presentation introduces a recent report by IFPRI researchers that suggests that new disciplines could both reduce distortions and provide significant protection in the event of a subsidy war by reducing "leakage" in domestic support disciplines.

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) accounts for approximately 40% of the EU's budget, or around 55 billion euros per year. The CAP was established in 1957 with the goals of increasing agricultural productivity, ensuring a fair standard of living for farmers, stabilizing markets, and providing affordable food for consumers. It has undergone several reforms in response to crises and changing societal priorities around issues such as overproduction, the environment, and developing countries. The most recent reform in 2013 included agreements on convergence payments between member states, greening measures, and more flexibility for member states in implementing the policy while maintaining strict rules.

Joanna Hicks

The document discusses the objectives and dilemmas of the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) over several decades and proposed reforms. It notes that CAP objectives such as competitiveness, sustainability, and rural development sometimes contradict each other. Conservation agriculture is presented as an approach that could help meet multiple CAP goals by increasing yields and profits while protecting natural resources. The author calls for policies like stronger cross-compliance standards and incentives to promote adoption of conservation agriculture practices.

1) The document discusses improving the targeting and tailoring of future EU agri-environment and climate policy based on OECD principles of policy design. 2) Currently, agri-environmental performance has improved slightly in recent decades but agri-environment policies play a minor role and have heterogeneous costs and benefits. 3) The document recommends better targeting agri-environment policies based on variability in environmental benefits and opportunity costs across locations to improve cost-effectiveness. This could include payment differentiation, auctions, and results-based schemes.

The LMI process uniquely focuses on communication, tracking progress, spaced repetition of lessons, developing win-win agreements and goals with a course coach. It also ensures behavior modification and sustainability through measuring ROI. Common advantages with other approaches include customization, graduation, and technical support. The LMI process does some things best, like producing SMART results and using practical application, dynamic facilitation, and a multi-sensory approach.

Historia del antiguo egipto

Rodrigo Henriquez

El antiguo Egipto se caracterizó por tener una sociedad jerárquica gobernada por faraones que eran considerados dioses vivientes con poder absoluto. Los egipcios desarrollaron grandes construcciones y obras monumentales como templos y pirámides que tardaban años en completarse, y su economía se basaba en la agricultura y la ganadería a lo largo del río Nilo así como en un sistema esclavista.

EU and global food security: Donor or competitor?

European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM)

The document discusses the fragility of the global food security system and the EU's role as both a major development donor and global policymaker whose internal policies can impact food security. It notes that while the EU provides large amounts of aid and has food security policy frameworks, its internal policies on agriculture, fisheries, biofuels and commodity markets are not fully coherent with development objectives and may hamper progress on global food security. The document calls for strengthening policy coherence in these areas and better linking the EU's development and policy coherence agendas to maximize its positive impact on food security worldwide.

Global Food Security

Asian Food Regulation Information Service

Global food security faces challenges from increasing population, unequal distribution of food, logistical issues, environmental degradation, and poverty. Sustainable agriculture that produces safe, high quality food without negatively impacting the soil or environment is needed. Malaysia has a role as a global leader in the halal industry to promote networking and research, expand halal education, and maintain standards to help ensure food security as the global population increases. Immediate actions proposed include intensifying research and development, improving food productivity, finding alternatives to porcine ingredients, implementing best practices like prohibiting unprocessed waste as fertilizer, and enhancing expertise in halal programs.

Food security

Juliet Abisha

Food security exists when all people have access to sufficient nutritious food. Nearly 800 million people face hunger globally. India has a large population living in poverty and facing malnutrition, though poverty has declined in recent years. Agricultural production and exports have fluctuated in India from 2007-2010. Ensuring food security for the growing global population will require increased agricultural output and addressing challenges like water scarcity, climate change, and land degradation. International organizations monitor food security indicators and work to promote initiatives and policies to achieve food security.

Global Food Security Challenges and Opportunities

Shenggen Fan

Global food security faces many challenges including volatile food prices, population growth, land and water constraints, climate change, and the increasing demand for biofuels. To address these issues, the document calls for a development agenda with greater support for food security through investments in agriculture, safety nets, land and water productivity, and climate change adaptation. It also emphasizes the crucial role policy research can play in informing investments and policies to promote food security through impacts on areas like poverty reduction, resource allocation, and agricultural technology development and adoption.

Role of biodiversity in food security

Satyam Mishra

This document discusses the links between biodiversity and food security. It notes that a rapid decline in biodiversity threatens food security by reducing crop diversity and genetic resources. However, biodiversity can also support food security through practices like agroforestry and mixed crop-livestock systems. The challenges of population growth, climate change, and low agricultural investment are also examined in relation to maintaining biodiversity and ensuring sustainable food production.

The document discusses several key World Trade Organization (WTO) agreements related to international food trade, including: 1. The Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) which aims to reform agricultural trade and subsidies. 2. The Agreement on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS Agreement) which concerns food safety and animal and plant health regulations. 3. The Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT Agreement) which covers technical regulations and standards that could act as barriers to trade. 4. The Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement) which establishes minimum standards for various forms of intellectual property regulation.

IMPACT OF WTO ON HORTICULTURAL SECTOR OF INDIA

thekireeti

This document discusses the impact of the World Trade Organization (WTO) on India's horticultural sector. Some key points: 1) The WTO and Agreement on Agriculture provide new export opportunities for agricultural products that India has yet to fully capitalize on, particularly for fruits and vegetables where India is a major global producer. 2) Horticulture is an important sector for India's economy, contributing to food security, employment, and GDP. However, India's share of global horticultural exports is only about 1%. 3) For India to better utilize opportunities under WTO agreements, infrastructure and post-harvest technologies need strengthening to overcome impediments to large-scale investment and value addition in the agricultural

Ho Cao Viet

The document discusses agriculture negotiations in the WTO. It notes that the WTO and Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) were established to create a fair trading system in agriculture through reducing subsidies and trade barriers. However, developed countries have failed to make the required cuts. This has negatively impacted developing country farmers' access to foreign markets and ability to compete with subsidized imports. The document argues that agricultural negotiations must address both developed country subsidies and market access issues to achieve fair outcomes for all countries.

The document discusses the WTO Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) and its implications. The key points are: 1) The AoA aimed to establish a fair agricultural trading system through reducing subsidies and protectionism. However, developed countries continue to heavily subsidize their agriculture. 2) This has negatively impacted developing country farmers by restricting their access to rich markets and allowing surplus production from developed countries to be sold at low prices. 3) India seeks reforms like substantial cuts in subsidies from developed nations to get better market access for its farm exports. The negotiations have stalled and developing countries want their concerns addressed.

HIGH FOOD PRICES: The What, Who and How of Proposed Policy Actions

International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)

The document discusses proposed policy actions to address high food prices and their impacts. It proposes three main actions: 1) initiating fast-impact food production programs in key areas to boost short-term agricultural growth, 2) changing biofuel policies to reduce demand on grains and oilseeds, and 3) boosting long-term investments in agriculture for sustained growth. Additional proposed actions include eliminating agricultural export restrictions to stabilize prices, using market regulation tools to calm speculative behavior, and completing trade liberalization negotiations. Social protection measures are also discussed to protect vulnerable populations in the short-term and prevent long-term negative consequences of high prices like loss of assets, reduced schooling, and malnutrition.

For Mozambique, additional data is needed on crop cultivars, management practices, planting and harvest seasons. It also describes using earth observation data and machine learning models to forecast crop yields and conditions across many countries as part of the GEOGLAM program, though this is currently only implemented in South Africa for Africa. Finally, it mentions a production efficiency model for estimating yield from satellite estimates of gross primary production.

The importance of Rice in Senegal

International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)

Rice is the most consumed cereal in Senegal, accounting for 34% of total cereal consumption. Per capita consumption is 80-90kg annually, though there is an urban-rural divide. While domestic production has doubled between 2010-2021, it still only meets 40% of demand. As a result, Senegal imports around 1 million tons annually, mainly from India and Thailand. Several public policies aim to incentivize domestic production and stabilize prices, though rice remains highly exposed to international price shocks due to its importance in consumption and reliance on imports.

It aims to address the current fragmentation in approaches and lack of external validity by integrating different frameworks and methods into a single resource. The launch event highlighted example frameworks and case studies from the Sourcebook that focus on various policy domains like food and nutrition, land, and climate and ecology.

- Rice exports from Myanmar have exceeded 2 million tons per year since 2019-2020, except for 2020-2021 during the peak of the pandemic. Exports through seaports now account for around 80% of total exports. - Domestic rice prices in Myanmar have closely tracked Thai export prices, suggesting strong linkages between domestic and international markets. - Simulations of a 10% decrease in rice productivity and a 0.4 million ton increase in exports in 2022-2023 resulted in a 33% increase in domestic prices, a 5% fall in production, and a 10% drop in consumption, with poor households suffering the largest declines in rice consumption of 12-13%.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17

Celine George

A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...

indexPub

The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Agriculture - Interests and challenges in the WTO

1. Agriculture - Interests and challenges in the WTO Lígia Dutra – Head of International Relations

2. Agricultural Negotiations Background The Doha Round – 2001/2017 Development Round with few results for agriculture! Export Competition – Although limited, some results Market Access – Most likely to be decided bilaterally Domestic Support – Must be addressed urgently – Buenos Aires is the time and place! Domestic Support, when subsidized in great amounts and not respecting the WTO rules for notifying, and the monitoring mechanisms, distort global agricultural trade and, therefore, harm Mercosur farmers!

3. International scenario with increasing challenges

4. Importance to build regional strength! Mercosur and its trading partners must consolidate their position at the WTO! Mercosur Biggest food producing countries WTO For this reason, since 2015, CNA has established close contact with Brazilian and other representatives in Geneva in order to set the priorities for farmers!

5. Main issues to consider bringing to MC11 3 - Transparency i. Strengthen SPS and TBT notification system in order to compel all WTO members to keep up-to-date notifications of new regulations. ii. Strengthen the system of notifications regarding domestic support programs with special attention to programs regarding formation of public stockholding for food security. 1 - Domestic Support Limit subsidies to agricultural production aimed at exports (including cotton). Advance in the negotiation of document JOB / AG / 72 (Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Colombia) with emphasis on options 3 and 4. 2 - Market access Negotiate the reduction of tariff peaks and tariff escalation for agricultural products.

6. 4 - Prevalence of science-based regulation Recognize the prevalence of international standards issued by recognized science- based organizations, such as CODEX Alimentarius/FAO and the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), which should be supported by the best scientific knowledge available. Compel WTO members to report any regulation adopted that are inconsistent with current international standards, mentioning the scientific rationale used. 5 - Biotechnology Recognize that biotechnology is essential for the future of global food security and therefore needs to be addressed on the basis of science with clear and transparent marketing rules that bring predictability and legal certainty to grain and cereal producers. Main issues to consider bringing to MC11
