MEMBERS' PARTICIPATION IN THE NORMAL GROWTH OF  
WORLD TRADE IN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS -  
ARTICLE 18.5 OF THE AGREEMENT ON AGRICULTURE  
 
Note by the Secretariat
1 
 
Revision  
  
1. Article 18.5 of the Agreement on Agriculture  provides that "Members agree to consult 
annually in the Committee on Agriculture with respect  to their participation in the normal growth of 
world trade in agricultural products within the framework of the commit ments on export subsidies 
under this Agreement."  According to the Committee' s Working Procedures, these consultations are to 
be undertaken at the November meetings of the Committee (G/AG/1, paragraph 17). 
2. The present note updates the information contained in document G/AG/W/32/Rev.10 
provided by the Secretariat for the purposes of th e Article 18.5 consultations undertaken by the 
Committee. 
3. The attached tables contain, for selected expor ters and selected agricultural products/product 
groups, data on export volumes (includi ng international food aid) and shares in world exports.  The 
statistics cover the Uruguay Round base period fo r export subsidy reduction commitments, i.e. 1986-
90, as well as the period comprised between 1999 and the most recent year for which data are 
available.  In addition, the charts show the wo rld market shares of the leading exporters for the 
products/product groups concerned. 
4. The following 13 products/product gr oups are covered by this note: 
- wheat/wheat flour (pages 4-6) 
- coarse grains (pages 7-9) - rice (pages 10-12) - sugar (pages 13-17) 
- skim milk powder (pages 18-20) 
- butter and butter oil (pages 21-23) - cheese (pages 24-26) - whole milk powder
2 (pages 27-29) 
- bovine meat (pages 30-32) 
- pigmeat (pages 33-35) 
- poultry meat (pages 36-38) - oilseeds (pages 39-41) - fruit and vegetables (pages 42-46).

to the positions of Members or to their rights or obligations under the WTO. 
2 Whole milk powder is, in terms of world trade, the main product within the product group "other milk 
products" in respect of which a number of Members have export subsidy reduction commitments. G/AG/W/32/Rev.11

  5. The table below shows the aggregate export values of the product categories listed in 
paragraph 4 above ("selected" agricultural products) during the base period 1986-90 and in the period 
1999 to 2007.  In addition, aggregate export values are shown for agricultural products other than the 
selected products ("other" agricultural products).  The basket of "other" agricultural products includes 
basic agricultural products, such as cocoa or wool, but also many processed products, such as cereal 
preparations or wine.  These "other" agricultural prod ucts account for slightly more than half of world 
exports of agricultural products.

Notes : 
(1) The FAO definition of total agricultural products comes cl ose, but is not identical, to  the product coverage of the 
Agreement on Agriculture as defined in Annex 1 thereto.   
(2) "Selected agricultural pr oducts" as per paragraph 4. 
(3) EC data are the FAO's estimates re ferring to the EC-12 for the base period 1986-90, to the EC-15 as from 1999, to 
the EC-25 as from 2004 and to the EC-27 as from 2007, and are net of intra-EC trade. 
 
 
Technical Notes 
Selected product groups 
6. The market shares of the selected product grou ps listed in paragraph 4 above are based on 
export volumes, except for fruit and vegetables.  The shares of fruit and vegetables are based on 
export values. 
7. Three categories of exporters are distinguished in the tables: 
(i) WTO Members with export s ubsidy reduction commitments 
(ii) "significant exporters" (iii) others. 
8. Each of the attached tables includes all Memb ers which have, according to their Schedules, 
export subsidy reduction commitments with respect to the selected product/product group concerned.  
In addition, those Members are included which are id entified in the list of "significant exporters" for 
the purpose of the Committee's notification requirements on export subsidy commitments.
3  
Furthermore, in order to provide a more comprehens ive picture of the development of shares in world 
exports, it was considered useful to include selecte d other WTO Members and Observers, in particular 
those which have emerged as major exporters duri ng the period covered.  For each product/product 
                                                      
3 G/AG/2/Add.1  G/AG/W/32/Rev.11

  group, exporters are ranked in descending order based  on their exports in the most recent year for 
which data are available. 
9. The product definition of the statistical data presented in this note does not necessarily match 
the product definitions used by Members for the purpose of scheduling their export subsidy commitments.  This point should be borne in mind, in particular when comparing the statistical data 
with scheduled commitment levels, subsidized e xports or total exports as reported by Members in 
accordance with the relevant notification requirement s (G/AG/2 refers).  For example, although corn 
exports are, by definition, included in the tota l for coarse grain exports, the United States' export 
subsidy reduction commitment for coarse grains  does not cover corn.  Members with reduction 
commitments on the basis of aggregate product groups  are included in the tables of each individual 
product/product group covered by the commitment.  For example, Switzerland
4 has an export subsidy 
reduction commitment for dairy products (excluding butter) and is therefore included in the tables for 
skim milk powder and cheese but not in the table fo r butter.  Members with an agriculture-wide 
commitment are only included in the tables relatin g to products/product groups where they have 
"significant exporter" status (C osta Rica and New Zealand). 
"Other" agricultural products 
10. The world market shares of selected exporters w ith respect to "other" agricultural products are 
presented in Table 14(a).  For reasons of data availability, the exporters represent the leading 
countries in terms of total agricultural exports, not  necessarily of exports of "other" agricultural 
products. 
Data 
11. The data provided in this note are sourced fro m FAO, the International Grains Council (IGC) 
and the International Sugar Organization (ISO).  Ot her sources may produce different results in terms 
of absolute volumes and values as well as year-t o-year changes of shares in world export 
volumes/values.  This may be due to a variety of reasons, including differences with respect to product definition, reporting period (e .g. calendar year versus marketi ng year), conversion factors or 
the revision of data. 
12. The time period covered is the base period 1986-90 and 1999 until the most recent year for 
which data are available from the sources used.
5   
13. The trade data of the EC as well as the aggreg ate exports (referred to as "world totals" in the 
tables) exclude intra-EC trade.   The FAO and ISO data for the EC refer to the EC-12 for the base 
period 1986-90, to the EC-15 from 1999, to the EC-25 as from 2004 and to the EC-27 as from 2007.  
It should be noted that the data of the IGC refer to  the EC-12 for the base period, to the EC-15 as from 
1996/97, to the EC-25 as from 2004/05 and the EC-27 as from 2006/07 (see Tables 1 and 2). 
14. The country-specific and commodity-specific explanatory notes which are contained in the 
sources are not reproduced in this note.  The symbol " – " has been used in the tables to denote not 
available or not applicable. 
                                                      
4 Switzerland in all tables refers to Switzerland-Liechtenstein. 
5 Data for 1991 to 1998 for Members with export subsidy reduction commitments and for "significant 
exporters" are included in previous revisions of this note.
