Ministerial Conference 
Tenth Session 
Nairobi, 15-18 December 2015  Original: English  
 
STATEMENT OF THE 39TH CAIRNS GROUP MINISTERIAL MEETING 
NAIROBI, KENYA - 14 DECEMBER 2015 
 
The following communication is being circulated at the request of the Delegation of Australia on 
behalf of the Cairns Group.   
_______________ 
 
 We, the Ministers of the Cairns Group
1, met in Nairobi on 14 December 2015 to discuss our 
common interests in agricultural trade reform, including the agricultural outcomes of the 10th WTO 
Ministerial Conference (MC10) and the futu re negotiating agenda on agriculture. 
 
We reaffirm our strong interest in and support for ambitious agriculture outcomes at MC10, 
including: the abolition of agricultural export subsidies; new disciplines on other agricultural trade policies that have export subsidy-like effects; and measures designed to address developing Members' concerns in relation to cotton. We urge all WTO Members at MC10 to confirm these 
historic and long-sought outcomes. 
 We express our strong disappointment that, despite continued efforts by Members and by the 
Cairns Group in particular, it has not been possible to achieve convergence around outcomes in the 
areas of agricultural market access and agricultural domestic support ahead of MC10. We stress the fundamental need to address these major unresolved issues as a priority post-Nairobi, in the 
interests of all Members. 
 We affirm our willingness to continue working with all WTO Members to explore any and all constructive, practical and pragmatic negotiating approaches to find solutions to these issues. We 
affirm the Cairns Group's willingness and capacity to play a leading role in this. 
 We note that protectionist pressures continue to pose a threat to our shared objective of fair and 
market-oriented agricultural trade, and call on all WTO Members to put this goal foremost in future 
negotiations, as well as the ongoing need to ensure compliance with current rules in WTO. 
 
We take the opportunity to reaffirm  our continuing commitment – as agricultural exporting 
nations – to seeking agricultural trade policy ou tcomes that expand trade and investment in 
agriculture, promote development, and remove distortions in global agricultural trade.
