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 provide d by the Secretariat for the purposes of the 
Article 18.5 consultations in Nove mber 2004 (G/AG/W/32/Rev.7).   
3. The attached tables contain, for selected expor ters and selected agricultural products/product 
groups, data on export volumes (inc luding food aid) and shares in world exports between 1996 and 
the most recent period for which data  were available.  It may be not ed that data of export volumes and 
world market shares during the Uruguay Round base period (1986-90) for export subsidy reduction 
commitments have been included in this revised Secr etariat note.  In addition, the charts show the 
world market shares of the leading exporters for the products/product groups concerned.  The 
following products/product groups are covered by this note: 
(i) wheat/wheat flour 
(ii) coarse grains (iii) rice (iv) sugar (v) skim milk powder 
(vi) butter and butter oil 
(vii) cheese (viii) whole milk powder
2 
(ix) bovine meat (x) pig meat 
(xi) poultry meat 
(xii) oilseeds (xiii) fruit and vegetables. 
                                                     
 
1 This document has been prepared  under the Secretariat's own respon sibility and is without prejudice 
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.8

4. The Table below shows the aggregate export values of the product categories listed in 
paragraph 3 above ("selected" agricultural products) during the base period 1986-90 and in the period 
1996 to 2003.  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) Data are net of intra-EC trade.  EC data are for the EC (15) as from the base period 1986-90. 
(2) "Selected agricultural products" include cereals, sugar, butter/butter oil, skim milk powder, whole milk powder, 
cheese, bovine meat, pig meat, poultry me at, oilseeds and fruit  and vegetables. 
(3) The FAO definition of total agricultural products (first row above) comes close, but is not identical, to the product 
coverage of the Agreement on Agriculture as defined in  Annex 1 thereto.  See do cument G/AG/NG/S/6/Rev.1 for 
agricultural trade data according to the coverage of Annex 1 of the Agreement.

Technical Notes 
Selected product groups 
5. The market shares of the selected product grou ps listed in paragraph 3 above are based on 
export volumes, except for fruit and vegetables.  The shares of fruit and vegetables are based on 
export values. 
6. Three categories of exporters are distinguished in the tables: 
(i) WTO Members with export s ubsidy reduction commitments 
(ii) "significant exporters" 
(iii) others. 
7. 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 
(G/AG/2/Add.1 refers).  Furthermore, in order to provide a more comprehensive picture of the 
development of shares in world exports, it was co nsidered useful to include selected other WTO  G/AG/W/32/Rev.8 
 Page 3 
 
 
Members and Observers, in particular those which have emerged as major e xporters during the period 
covered.  For each product/product group, exporters are ranked in descending order based on their 
exports in the most recent year. 
8. The product definition of the statistical data presented in this note does not necessarily match 
the product definitions used for the purpose of expo rt subsidy reduction commitments.  This point 
should be borne in mind, in particular when compar ing the statistical data with commitment levels, 
subsidized exports or total exports as notified pu rsuant to Table ES:2 of document G/AG/2.  For 
example, although corn exports are, by definition, included in the total for coarse grain exports, the 
United States' export subsidy reduction commitment fo r coarse grains does not cover corn.  Members 
with reduction commitments on the basis of aggreg ate product groups are included in the tables of 
each individual product/product group covered by the commitment.  For example, Switzerland has an 
export subsidy reduction commitment for dairy produ cts (excluding butter) and is therefore included 
in the tables for skim milk powder and cheese but not in the table for butter.  Members with an 
agriculture-wide commitment (Costa Rica and New Z ealand) are only included in the tables relating 
to products/product groups where they have "significant exporter" status. 
"Other" agricultural products 
9. 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 
10. 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. 
11. The time period covered is the base period 1986-90 and 1996 until the most recent year for 
which data are available from the sources used.
3  In particular, FAO data are currently available only 
up to 2003.  For reasons of consis tency, more recent data available from other sources were not used 
to complement FAO data. 
12. 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 data for th e EC refer to the EC (15) as from the base period 
1986-90.  The data from the International Sugar Orga nization are for the EC (12) for the base period 
and for the EC (15) as from 1996.   It should be noted  that the data of the In ternational Grains Council 
refer to the EC (12) for the base period, to the EC (15) as from 1996/97 and to the EC (25) as from 
2004/05 (see Tables 1 and 2). 
13. 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. 
                                                      
3 Data for 1991 to 1995 for Members with export subsidy reduction commitments and for "significant 
exporters" are included in previous revisions of this note.  G/AG/W/32/Rev.8
