摘要：A gricultural trade can be a
driving force in agricultural
development overall, creating
incomes and employment. Because
agricultural trade expansion can
generate incomes and jobs in rural
areas where the majority of the poor
live, it can have a great povertyreducing
effect.
However, in spite of some progress
in liberalizing global agricultural trade,
the trade prospects of developing
countries are still hindered by trade
barriers and trade-distorting subsidies
in major developed countries and high
tariffs in many developing countries.
The attempts of developing countries to
improve their export earnings, incomes
and employment by adding value to the
basic agricultural products face even
higher tariff barriers. This is on top of
the structural impediments that confront
their attempts to enter concentrated
markets for processed and value-added
products. Many developing countries
have become increasingly marginalized
in international trade and increasingly
dependent on food imports while
unable to expand earnings from their
agricultural exports.
