Description

High economic growth and globalization in the last two decades have forced many Asian governments to accelerate agricultural policy reforms. They have been under increasing pressures from WTO, FTAs and consumers to reduce agricultural supports and pay more attentions to food safety and the environment. However, the complexity and volatility of agricultural policies mask which directions they are moving to and how they benefit producers and consumers as a whole. This paper has tried to analyze the directions and the size of policy transfers among stakeholders in selected Asian countries by applying the PSEs (producer support estimates) methodologies which have long been utilized in analyzing and monitoring agricultural policies in developed countries. The tentative result indicates ; no clear trends in declining government supports ; central roles played by price policies, relatively low degree of supports, counter cyclical moves in supports against external shocks and a reverse in transfer direction between producers and consumers in some countries.
