GSP TREATMENT OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS
Statistical Background Paper by the Secretariat
1. At the fourth Special Session of the Committee on Agriculture on 15-17 November 2000, the
Secretariat was requested to prepare a background paper on the Generalized System of Preferences
(GSP) treatment of agricultural products (G/AG/NG/4, paragraph 6(a) refers).  In response to that
request, the present statistical background paper was prepared in cooperation with the UNCTAD
Secretariat.
GSP scheme coverage
2. The paper covers the GSP schemes of Canada, the European Communities, Japan and the
United States.  These four Members account for 94 per cent of the total imports of GSP preference-
giving countries from developing countries.
Beneficiary coverage
3. The paper provides information on imports from all as well as from selected GSP
beneficiaries. The term "All GSP beneficiaries" deno tes all preference-receiving countries as indicated
in the respective GSP schemes. "Selected GSP beneficiaries" exclude: ACP States for the European
Communities, CARIBCAN Members for Canada and CBI States for the United States.
Data Sources, product coverage and time frame
4. For the purposes of this paper, the Secretariat has used data from UNCTAD's GSP Statistical
Database as prepared by UNCTAD's Division on In ternational Trade in Goods and Services, and
Commodities.  The data are based on annual submissions made by preference-giving countries. The
statistical information is based on trade values in US dollars.
5. The data were extracted from UNCTAD's GSP Statistical Database according to a definition
of agricultural products which matches the product coverage of the Agreement on Agriculture as
defined in Annex 1 thereto.  Hence throughout the pa per, products specified in product groups and the
terms "agricultural products" and "agricultural imports" relate to the definition of agricultural products
under the Agreement on Agriculture. Annexes 1 and 2 to this paper provide the product coverage ofthe Agreement on Agriculture in terms of HS92 and HS96.
6. The paper covers the period for which data was available on a consistent basis, namely the
years 1994 to 1998. For Japan, 1997 is the latest year for which data was available.G/AG/NG/S/23

Organization of  information
7. Following overview tables, the paper is organized in four Sections (Canada, the European
Communities, Japan and the United States).  For each of the tables presented in these Sections, the
eleven columns contain the following information :
Column 1  – numerical ordering of the product groups
Column 2  - description of the product groups
Column 3  - total value of agricultural imports from beneficiary countries (either "All" or
"Selected").
Column 4  - value of agricultural imports that entered as MFN duty-free.
Column 5  - value of agricultural imports that entered as MFN dutiable.
Column 6  - value of agricultural imports eligible for the GSP treatment (i.e. imports under
tariff items for which a GSP rate exists, in the following: "GSP-covered agriculturalimports").
Column 7  - value of agricultural imports which have effectively received the preferential
GSP treatment.
Column 8  - the ratio between GSP-covered agricultural imports and dutiable agricultural
imports.  This ratio indicates how much trade is covered by the GSP in relation to how much
could potentially be covered.
Column 9  – the ratio between agricultural imports which have actually received GSP
treatment and GSP-covered agricultural imports.  This ratio is a measure of how effectively
GSP beneficiaries have been able to take advantage of the schemes.
Column 10  – the ratio between agricultural imports which have actually received GSP
treatment and dutiable agricultural imports from GSP beneficiaries. This is an overall
indicator of how useful the GSP has been in rela tion to its full potential (as measured in an ex
post sense by dutiable imports that have actually occurred).
Column 11 – the ratio between agricultural imports which have actually received GSP
treatment and the corresponding total agricultural imports from GSP beneficiaries (i.e. duty-
free plus dutiable imports).  This ratio is a measure of the actual share of GSP imports in the
flow of imports coming from GSP beneficiaries.
8. For ease of reference, the definition of the various preference ratios is summarized in Box 1.G/AG/NG/S/23
