Downstream Market

In this paper, we consider the potential impact of market power on the likely effects of trade reform and how this may impact on developing country exporters. The emphasis is on trade reform in agricultural markets, one of the principal features of the Doha Round negotiations, and we discuss the mechanisms via which market power will matter for agricultural markets even if those markets themselves are competitive. Using results from a calibrated theoretical model, we show that the existence of downstream market power in vertical chains is likely to dissipate the potential benefits that would accrue to developing country agricultural exporters following trade reform.

Sustainable Economic Growth

We are all aware that agriculture is important to developing countries as a source of income, employment and export earnings. To a far greater extent than in the OECD countries, agriculture it central to the economic performance of developing countries and the livelihood of their inhabitants. Rural societies in developing countries are directly dependent on the agricultural sector and urban dwellers rely on agriculture to provide food security and sustainable economic growth. Furthermore, many developing countries heavily rely on the export earnings or are highly dependent on food imports. Given the fact that the poorest and most threatened communities and countries are typically the most highly dependent, the resolution of pressing global agricultural policy and trade issues is critical to sustainable development and poverty alleviation.
