This report is a unique source of up-to-date estimates of support to
agriculture. It provides an overview of agricultural support in the OECD area,
complemented by individual chapters on agricultural policy developments in all
OECD countries. This edition finds that overall support to farmers in OECD
countries has been declining. It shows that the decline has largely been due
to a narrowing of the gap between domestic and world agricultural commodity
prices.

The report also focuses on the impacts of the current financial and economic
crisis on agriculture, and the policy responses. Agriculture is expected to
fare better than many other sectors. It has a relatively smaller financial
exposure, demand is less sensitive to income falls, and the existing set of
support policies in many countries can dampen the impact of the crisis.
Governments are facing tighter fiscal conditions, which is likely to prompt
further review of support policies, including for agriculture.

The 2008 United States Farm Act, the Health Check of the European Union’s
Common Agricultural Policy and the new Growing Forward policy framework in
Canada are also reviewed in the report. A special feature in the report
focuses on agri-environmental policies in OECD countries.
