摘要：The new round of WTO negotiations presents special opportunities and challenges
for the South Asian countries. Active participation by South Asian countries may enable them
to secure better market access for their exports. It may also preserve or secure changes in the
existing regulations that will enable them to fully integrate in the global trading system, while
allowing them to meet their developmental goals. However, to achieve a favorable agreement,
South Asian countries, especially India, will need to reform their own protectionist trade and
domestic policies. Despite significant trade liberalization within the last two decades, the
regional supply of agricultural commodities remains constrained by trade restrictions and antiagricultural
bias in domestic policies. Reforming regional domestic and trade policies will
facilitate negotiations, provide impetus for increased agricultural production, stimulate trade
and further economic growth, and enhance the overall food security situation in South Asia.
