Market access: Provisions of Agreement on Agriculture

Market access: Provisions of Agreement on Agriculture

An often-mentioned problem of developing countries’ agricultural export has been the lack
of access to developed countries' markets, due to the institution of a myriad of import
controls and other restrictions. This has largely undermined the growth prospects of
developing countries whose development strategy relied on agricultural exports. In the
WTO Agreement, developed country members, have agreed to take fully into account
the particular needs and conditions of developing country members by providing for a
greater improvement of opportunities and terms of access for agricultural products of
particular interest to those members, including the fullest liberalization of trade in tropicalagricultural
products..., and for products of particular importance to the diversification of
product from the growing of illicit narcotic crops.
Market access concessions relate to bindings and reductions of tariffs and to other market
access commitments as specified in the WTO Agreement. The agreement further provides
that members shall not maintain, resort to, or revert to any measures of the kind which have
been required to be converted into ordinary customs duties. These measures include
quantitative import restrictions, variable import levies, minimum import prices,
discretionary import, licensing, non-tariff measures maintained through state-trading
enterprises, voluntary export restraints and similar border measures other than ordinary
custom duties. This is contained in Article 4 of the Agreement on Agriculture.
