Committee on Agriculture
MEMBERS' PARTICIPATION IN THE NORMAL GROWTH OF
WORLD TRADE IN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS -
ARTICLE 18.5 OF THE AGREEMENT ON AGRICULTURE
Note by the Secretariat
Revision
1. Article 18.5 of the Agreement on Agriculture provides that "Members agree to consult
annually in the Committee on Agriculture with respect to their participation in the normal growth of
world trade in agricultural products within the framework of the commitments on export subsidies
under this Agreement."  According to the Committee' s Working Procedures these consultations are to
be undertaken at the November meetings of the Committee (G/AG/1, paragraph 17).
2. The present note updates and extends the information that is contained in the note prepared by
the Secretariat for the purposes of the 18.5 cons ultations in November 1998 (G/AG/W/32/Rev.1).
The attached tables contain  data for selected products/product groups and Members with respect to
export volumes (including food aid) and shares in world exports.  In addition, the attached chartsshow, for the products/product groups concerned, the world market shares of the leading exporters.
3. The following products/product groups are covered by this note:
(i) wheat and wheat flour;
(ii) coarse grains;
(iii) rice;
(iv) sugar;
(v) butter and butter oil;(vi) skim milk powder;
(vii) cheese;
(viii) whole milk powder;
(ix) bovine meat;
(x) pigmeat;(xi) poultry meat; and
(xii) oilseeds.
4. In response to requests made at the November 1998 meeting that the product coverage be
extended (G/AG/R/17, paragraph 38) data for whole milk powder
1, pigmeat, poultry meat and
oilseeds have been added.  Other agricultural products are covered in paragraph 11 below.
                                                     
1 Whole milk powder is, in terms of world trade, the main product within the product group of "other
milk products" for which a number of Members have commitments.G/AG/W/32/Rev.2
Page 2
5. Three categories of Members are distinguished in the tables:
(i) Members with export subsidy reduction commitments;
(ii) "significant exporters"; and
(iii) others.
6. Each table specifies all Members which have, according to their Schedules, export subsidy
reduction commitments with respect to the product/p roduct group concerned.  In the case of Hungary,
export subsidy commitments pursuant to the waiver decision are additionally taken into account
(WT/L/238 refers).  As a result Hungary is also included in the tables for skim milk powder, butter
and butter oil and whole milk powder.  "Significant exporters" refers to those Members which are
identified in the list of significant exporters for the purpose of the Committee's notification
requirement on export subsidy commitments (G/AG/2/ Add.1 refers).  Furthermore, in order to provide
a more comprehensive picture of the developments of shares in world export volumes, in a few casesit was considered useful to include selected other Members, in particular those which have emerged as
major exporters during the period covered.  The shares in world export volumes of any "significant"
non-Member exporters are not covered in the tables.
7. The product definition of the statistical data does not necessarily match the product
definitions used for the purpose of export subsidy reduction commitments. This point should be bornein mind, in particular when comparing the statistical data with commitment levels, subsidized exports
or total exports as notified pursuant to Table ES:2 of document G/AG/2. For example, although corn
exports are, by definition, included in the total for coarse grain exports, the United States' export
subsidy reduction commitment for coarse grains does not cover corn.  Members with reduction
commitments on the basis of aggregate product groups are specified in the tables of each individualproduct/product group covered by the commitment.  For example, Switzerland has an export subsidy
reduction commitment for dairy products (excluding butter) and is therefore included in the tables for
skim milk powder and cheese but not in the table for butter.  Members with an agriculture-wide
commitment (Costa Rica, New Zealand and Panama) are only specified in the tables relating to
products/product groups where they have "significant exporter" status.
8. The export volume data are sourced from FAO, the International Grains Council (IGC) and
the International Sugar Organization (ISO).  Other sources may produce different results in terms of
absolute volumes as well as year-to-year changes of shares in world export volumes.  This may be due
to a variety of reasons, including differences with respect to product definition, reporting period (e.g.
calendar year versus marketing year), conversion factors or the revision of data.
9. The export volumes of the EC as well as the aggregate export volumes (referred to as "world
totals" in the tables) exclude intra-EC trade.
2
10. The time period covered is 1986, the first year of the base period for export subsidy reduction
commitments, until the most recent year for which data are available from the sources used.  In
particular, FAO data are currently available only up to 1997.  For reasons of consistency, more recent
data available from other sources were  not used to complement FAO data.
11. For agricultural products other than those listed in paragraph 3 above ("other" agricultural
products), aggregate export values are shown in Table 1 below.  It may be noted that the data exclude
EC intra-trade.  The export values of selected WTO Members and their respective world market
shares in "other" agricultural products are presented in the attached Tables 26 and 27.  The Members
concerned are the leading exporters, most of them with export subsidy reduction commitments or
"significant exporter" status with respect to some of the "other" agricultural products.

products concerned.3
