In the emerging economies covered in this report, this type of policies already assumes a relatively important part in their expenditures on agriculture. On-going discussions in the G20 are also favouring a comprehensive set of actions to improve the global food and agriculture system in both the short and long term. Building on the success of past policy reforms that have restructured and improved the way support is delivered to the agricultural sector, designing these new frameworks provides a unique opportunity to further improve efficiency and equity of support and to invest in a strong and competitive agricultural sector.
