Agricultural Policy Monitoring and Evaluation 2020
This annual report monitors and evaluates agricultural policies spanning all six continents, including the 37 OECD countries, the five non-OECD EU Member States, and 12 emerging economies. It is a unique source of up-to date estimates of support to agriculture using a comprehensive system of measuring and classifying support to agriculture – the Producer and Consumer Support Estimates (PSEs and CSEs), the General Services Support Estimate (GSSE) and related indicators – which provide insight into the increasingly complex nature of agricultural policy and serve as a basis for OECD’s agricultural policy monitoring and evaluation. Comprehensive country chapters and the Statistical Annex containing detailed background tables with indicators of agricultural support are available in electronic form on the publication website.

Colombia
Colombia’s level of support to producers expressed as a share of gross farm revenues (%PSE) averaged 11.5% over the period 2017-19, which is below the OECD average. Market price support (MPS) is the main component of the PSE, accounting for 90% over the period 2017-19. MPS is mostly driven by the use of border measures for several agricultural products including rice, maize, poultry, milk, sugar, and pig meat. Budgetary transfers to farmers accounted for 10% of the PSE, during the same period; these were mostly payments based on variable input use, notably seeds and fertilisers. Budgetary allocations to general services to the sector as a whole (GSSE) have been relatively small, accounting on average for only 2.7% of the agricultural value added. Support for general services focuses on agricultural research and knowledge transfer; infrastructure, particularly in irrigation; and farm restructuring (e.g. land formalisation, rights and access).
