摘要：Contradict to many projections developing countries have not benefited from freer trade in agriculture after completion of the Uruguay Round negotiations. This is largely due to the high level of domestic support in developed countries, and the "green" barriers and other non-tariff measures. The technology advance in GMO and other biotech products may actually put developing countries in unfavorable positions in both production and trade, and the lack of market access for labor-intensive commodities may be even more crucial to agriculture in developing countries. Developing countries are likely to bring the above issues to the next round of multilateral negotiations on agriculture. However, depending on their economic structures and positions in agricultural trade, developing countries may hold the same stands in some issues, and split in others.
