Articulating and Mainstreaming Agricultural Trade Policy and Support Measures

This book is an output of the FAO project, Articulating and Mainstreaming Agricultural Trade Policy and Support Measures, implemented during 2008-2010. It was in this context that the FAO project was conceived. Its three core objectives are to contribute to: i) the process of articulating appropriate agricultural trade policies consistent with overall development objectives; ii) the process of articulating trade support measures; and iii) the process of mainstreaming trade policies and support measures into national development framework. The study is based on case studies for five countries - Bangladesh, Ghana, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Tanzania. The approach taken was to analyse how the above three processes were undertaken in recent years. The book presents, in 15 chapters, analyses for each country of the above three topics - agricultural trade policy issues, trade-support measures and mainstreaming.
