This dataset and predefined summary tables are a complement to the report Agricultural Policy Monitoring and Evaluation, which monitors agricultural policy developments in OECD member countries as well as other EU member states and emerging economies.

The OECD uses a comprehensive system for measuring and classifying support to agriculture - the Producer and Consumer Support Estimates (PSEs and CSEs) and related indicators. They provide insight into the increasingly complex nature of agricultural policy and serve as a basis for OECD work on agricultural policies.
