ACCESSION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION 
 
Information on the Domestic Measure of Support for Agriculture  
in the Russian Federation  
   The Permanent Mission of the Russian Federa tion has submitted the following information on 
the domestic measure of support for agriculture in th e Russian Federation, with the request that it be 
circulated to members of the Working Party. 
  
_______________ 
 
 
 
Explanatory Note
 
to Supporting Tables on Domestic Support in Agriculture  
and Calculation of Total Aggregate Measures of Support to Russia  
 
 
 Supporting Tables DS-1, DS-4, DS-5, DS-6, DS-7, DS-9 and ES-1 are compiled in compliance with the procedures outlined in the Agreement on Agriculture and the Secretariat's 
Technical Note WT/ACC/4.   Supporting Table DS-1
 covers those measures which the Ru ssian Party finds consistent with 
the requirements of the Agreement on Agricu lture, in particular Annex 2 thereof. 
  Maintenance of social infrastructure and suppor t of individual farmers meet the requirements 
of Clause 6 of Annex 2 to the Agreement on Agriculture, as these measures involve non-product-
specific budget expenditures or lost profits of the Stat e.  Besides, farmers' s upport must be regarded as 
the State's expenditures for agricultural restructur ing in line with Clause 11 of Annex 2 to the 
Agreement on Agriculture.   Certain assumptions have been made to assess th e value of specific Green Box measures.  For 
example, the itemisation proves difficult when it c oncerns expenditures of the Russian Federation 
subjects on agriculture and educati on, and consequently, such expend itures have not been included in 
the General Services column, but rather ta bulated in DS-9 under "Other Expenses". 
  Capital expenditures reflect actual centralized  investments and are primarily based on the 
reports of the State Statistics Committee or Goskomstat (Form 2ks concerning the Russian Ministry of Agriculture and Food). 
 WT/ACC/SPEC/RUS/10 
Page 2  
 
  To evaluate the Green Box operational expenditu res, use has been made of the data provided 
by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food and th e Russian Federation Committee for Land Resources 
and Land Use.  Appropriate estimates of the budge t expenditures of the Russian Federation subjects 
have also been taken into consideration, with due account for the Green Box operational expenditures 
at the Federal level. 
 
 Deflator indices published by the Russian Gos komstat have been used to facilitate data 
comparison, while Goskomstat's special coeffi cients provided for proper evaluation of capital 
investments.  Only those coeffici ents based on deflator indices have been used to compare the data 
related to 1989-1991. 
 
 The de minimus rule has been applied to compile Supporting Table DS-4
.  It means that while 
a total of the product-specific support measures has been developed, any expenditures smaller or 
equal to 5 per cent of the specific procurement were neglected.  Thus, the current aggregate-measure-of-support (AMS) factor does not include the negati ve product-specific values drawn from Supporting 
Table DS-7 or any relevant positive values being sma ller or equal to 5 per cent.  It should be noted 
here that the budget product-specific support does no t normally compensate for the negative values of 
the market price support (Tables DS-5 and DS-7).   The de minimus rule has also been applie d to non-product-specific AMS calculation.  Each 
particular expenditure has been compared with th e output of agricultural production.  Any values 
smaller or equal to 5 per cent have been negl ected for the total aggregate AMS estimates. 
  To make calculations for the 1989-1991 non-product-specific measures applying the de minimus  rule, use has been made of the agricultural output data assessed in the comparable prices 
for 1995 and computed based on the respective 1993-1995 indicators and the output growth rates in 
1989-1995 expressed in comparable prices. 
  In Supporting Table DS-5
, administered prices have been substituted for procurement prices 
primarily formed on market principles.  Similarly,  the data reflecting the procurement volume have 
been used instead of the production output data.  C.i.f. import prices or f.o.b. export prices for other than CIS countries have been u sed as a world market reference. 
 
 Conversion into rubles has been performed with  due reference to the official average annual 
currency exchange rates provided by Goskomstat.   Supporting Table DS-6
: a certain part of the compensa tion for the purchase of mineral 
fertilizers and pesticides has been distributed among plant-growers, based on the Goskomstat's data 
related to total subsidies and using the annual re ports of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food 
showing which part of the total subsid ies is made up by a specific product. 
  In Supporting Table DS-7
 concerning the 1989-1991 period, the other non-exempt direct 
subsidies are essentially the differentiated mark-ups of  the procurement prices, mark-ups of the prices 
of produce sold above the level of the eleventh  five-year period, and compensation for the price 
difference to the sellers of agricultural produce to re tailers, kindergartens, etc.  Budget allocations for 
procurement price subsidies have been s hown as differentiated mark-ups in 1991. 
  
Concerning Supporting Tables DS-4 and DS-9:
 
  Taking into account the results of the seven th Working Party on Russia's accession to the 
WTO held in Geneva in December 1997, it is prop osed to adjust the level of domestic support for 
agriculture by its reduction from US$95.9 billion to US$82.9 billion due to non-inclusion in  WT/ACC/SPEC/RUS/10 
 Page 3 
 
 
 calculations of any tax benefits for agricultural or ganizations.  Despite that these benefits are lost 
profit for the State and should be included in calculations according to the methodology of the Agreement on Agriculture, in fact this has not been done by the WTO Member countries.  The 
exclusion of tax benefits from the level of domes tic support for Russian agriculture would make the 
submitted calculations comparable with the information presented by other countries. 
 
Concerning Supporting Table ES-1
 
  The purpose of the calculations is to show  the actual subsidization in 1988-1990 of the 
exporters of agricultural produce, as provided  for by the WTO Agreement on Agriculture. 
 
 In Supporting Table ES-1, the produce has been subdivided into commodity groups specified according to the standard WTO format.   In order to determine the Russian position on subsidization of export of raw agricultural 
products and foodstuffs, calculations  were made for the period between 1988 and 1990 on the basis of 
data on product exports and the difference betw een the domestic and overall global prices, as 
provided by Article 9(b) of the Agreement on Ag riculture.  The total subsidies are equal to 
US$1.6 billion or 9,354 million rubles at the 1997 ruble/ dollar exchange rate.  This represents a much 
lower portion of GDP in agriculture compared to E ast European countries (Poland, Hungary, etc.). 
 
 The arithmetic mean figures for the three years (1988-1990) for all kinds of agricultural 
produce constitute the total amount of the export subs idies averaged over the year during such three-
year period.   The data source for export subsidy calcula tions are the USSR and Russian Federation 
Statistics Committee yearbooks, the State Committee of  the USSR for Prices, and reference data 
related to foreign economic activities.
