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.

Brazil
Reflecting its position as a competitive exporter, Brazil provides relatively low levels of support and protection to agriculture. Producer support as a share of gross farm receipts fell from 7.6% to 1.7% between 2000-02 and 2017-19. Domestic prices are currently aligned with international markets and there is very little market price support (MPS). Most of support to producers is provided through input payments, in particular concessional credit and, to lesser extent, crop insurance. Concessional credit is available for farm marketing and working capital but also for investment fixed capital. Since 2008 all support based on input use is conditional to environmental criteria and on farming practices.
