    Keywords: Agriculture and Food ; Development
    Abstract: African agriculture is a sleeping giant. Agribusiness remains in its infancy in most sub-Saharan African countries. Many of them now pay higher prices for imported food products and struggle to keep inflationary pressures under control. Given the strong long-term prospect for world food prices, increasing the productivity of food crops becomes a top priority. It requires sizeable investments in irrigation, storage, transport infrastructure and logistics, as well as better access to markets for inputs (fertilizers, seeds, planting materials and credit). While successful contract-farming schemes exist for export crops, they remain rare for food crops. Greater involvement of the private sector in designing and implementing such food-crop commercialisation programmes could develop viable local food industries. Existing international financing facilities such as the Enhanced Private Sector Assistance (EPSA) for Africa should get full use. Whether Africa can unleash the potential of commercial agriculture in the coming decades also depends in no small part on the continuous and effective support of the international development community. The findings summarised in this volume can serve as building blocks for further international discussions on fostering agro-based private-sector development and lifting smallholders out of poverty.

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. Turning African Agriculture into a Business: A Reader
    Keywords: Agriculture and Food ; Development
    Abstract: L’agriculture africaine est un géant endormi. Dans la plupart des pays d’Afrique subsaharienne, l’agro-industrie en est encore à ses balbutiements. Nombre d’entre eux paient désormais le prix fort pour leurs importations de denrées alimentaires et tentent de juguler les pressions inflationnistes. En raison de la vigueur attendue des prix alimentaires mondiaux à long terme, l’augmentation de la productivité des cultures vivrières devient une priorité absolue pour l’Afrique. Cela suppose d’investir massivement dans les infrastructures d’irrigation, d’entreposage et de transports, mais aussi de faciliter l’accès aux marchés des facteurs de production (engrais, semences, matériel agricole et crédit). Si un cadre contractuel donne de bons résultats dans le cas des cultures d’exportation, ce genre de dispositif est encore rare pour les cultures vivrières. Une implication accrue du secteur privé dans la conception et la mise en oeuvre de ce type de programmes de commercialisation pour les cultures vivrières devrait permettre d’assurer un développement durable des industries alimentaires locales. Les facilités actuelles de financement internationales – à l’instar de l’EPSA (Initiative pour le soutien renforcé au secteur privé en Afrique) – devraient être pleinement exploitées. L’aptitude de l’Afrique à libérer le potentiel de son agriculture commerciale dans les décennies à venir dépend aussi largement d’un soutien efficace et durable de la part de la communauté internationale du développement. Les conclusions résumées ici posent les jalons de futures discussions à l’échelle internationale sur le développement du secteur privé agricole en Afrique et la manière de sortir les petits paysans de la pauvreté.

    Abstract: With the development and entry into force of the United Nations Fish Stocks Agreement in 1995, the international community made a commitment to strengthen Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs), established to deal with the management of shared high seas resources. This study takes stock of the changes made in RFMOs, highlighting a gradual process of improvement that has translated into significant success stories. While there is no single recipe for this process, ensuring that the fundamental building blocks are in place to help create and maintain the economic and political momentum for change is important. Altering the underlying economic incentives may help to better align the interests of member countries, allowing coalitions for change to develop within the membership. The study and its analysis is built on evidence from a range of case studies of RFMOs, most notably the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CSBT), the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO) and the North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC).

    Keywords: Fisheries Chile ; Agriculture and Food ; Chile ; Chile ; Fischerei ; Aquakultur
    Abstract: Chile is one of the major players in the world fishing scene. But during the past fifty years, Chile has had to face issues of over-investment, sharp declines in catch levels, disputes among stakeholders, fleet downsizing, and aquaculture diseases, among others. This report describes the challenging and complex learning process that the Chilean fisheries and aquaculture sector has undergone and the evolution of its policies and management systems. Governance of the industrial, artisanal and aquaculture industries has followed different paths of policy development and current management reflects the particular pressures confronting each segment of the sector. And policy evolution continues, with a range of initiatives underway to meet the current challenges. The Chilean state has been one of the main forces behind these developments, laying the foundation for a strong and robust fisheries and aquaculture sector.

    Abstract: The sources of risk in agriculture are numerous and diverse, ranging from events related to climate and weather conditions to animal diseases; from changes in agriculture commodities prices to changes in fertilizer and other input prices; and from financial uncertainties to policy and regulatory risks. Agricultural risks are not independent, but rather are linked both to each other and as part of a system that includes all available instruments, strategies and policies designed to manage risk. A holistic approach is thus necessary. This book examines the current magnitude and characteristics of risk-related policies in agriculture and what is known about the quantitative size of agricultural risks. It looks at the on-farm, off-farm, and market instruments available to manage risk, and it explains how the holistic approach helps clarify the role of governments.

    Abstract: Chile es uno de los participantes más importantes del ámbito pesquero internacional. Este informe describe el reto que ha supuesto el complejo proceso de aprendizaje que el sector pesquero y acuícola chileno ha llevado a cabo y la evolución de sus políticas y sistemas de gestión. Pero durante los últimos cincuenta años el gobierno de los sectores industrial, artesanal y acuícola ha seguido diferentes trayectorias de desarrollo de políticas y la gestión actual refleja las presiones concretas a las que cada segmento del sector hace frente. Chile ha tenido que afrontar cuestiones de sobreinversión, severos descensos en los niveles de captura, disputas entre las partes implicadas, disminución del tamaño de las flotas y enfermedades acuícolas, entre otras. Y la evolución de las políticas continúa, con una serie de iniciativas en marcha para responder a los desafíos actuales. El Estado Chileno ha sido una de las principales fuerzas que se encuentran tras estos avances, sirviendo de base para un sector pesquero y acuícola sólido y robusto.

    Abstract: Land is a key input into agricultural production and the agricultural sector remains the main user of rural land in most OECD countries. How land is managed in agriculture, and the conversion of farmland to non-agricultural uses, are likely to have implications not only for the provision of food, but also for the supply of public goods such as rural amenities, as well as for the quantity and quality of water. Changes in agricultural, agri-environmental, land-use, and regional policies – together with factors such as climate and demographic changes – increasingly affect land use and management choices. This report examines the impact of several policies on farmland conversion using a combination of economic analysis and empirical case studies.

À la marge intensive, les pays riches exportent-ils des volumes plus importants, ou perçoivent-ils des prix plus élevés pour leurs marchandises ? À la marge extensive, les nouveaux flux d’échanges sont-ils le résultat d’une plus grande diversification des produits ou celui de l’exportation de produits classiquement échangés vers un nombre plus important de destinations ?

    Abstract: This publication demonstrates that natural resources can contribute to growth, employment, exports and fiscal revenues in low-income countries, where natural capital constitutes a quarter of total wealth. It highlights the importance of policies encouraging the sustainable management of these resources. Moreover, it emphasises the need to address the political challenges of natural-resource management for long-term pro-poor economic growth. Part I provides an overview of the economics and politics of natural resources. It describes the unique features of natural resources and resulting management challenges, the role of sustainable natural resource management in supporting pro-poor growth, and the politics and governance of natural resources. It then offers recommendations for policy makers on how to support the approaches advocated in the paper. Part II examines these issues with respect to seven specific natural-resource sectors: fisheries, forests, wildlife and ecotourism, soil productivity, water security, minerals and renewable energy.

    Abstract: Cette publication démontre que les ressources naturelles peuvent contribuer à la croissance, à l’emploi, aux exportations et aux recettes budgétaires dans les pays à faible revenu où le capital naturel représente un quart de la richesse totale. Elle souligne l’importance de l’adoption de mesures qui encouragent une gestion durable de ces ressources. Elle met enfin en évidence la nécessité de bien appréhender les enjeux politiques de la gestion des ressources naturelles pour favoriser une croissance économique à long terme qui profite aux pauvres. La partie I propose une vue d’ensemble des enjeux économiques et politiques de l’utilisation des ressources naturelles. Elle décrit les caractéristiques propres aux ressources naturelles et les difficultés de gestion qui en résultent, le rôle que peut jouer une gestion durable des ressources naturelles à l’appui d’une croissance pro-pauvres, et les enjeux politiques et en matière de gouvernance associés à ces ressources naturelles. Elle formule ensuite des recommandations à l’intention des responsables des politiques quant aux moyens à mobiliser pour concrétiser les approches préconisées dans la publication. La partie II analyse sept secteurs en particulier : la pêche, la forêt, la faune et la flore sauvages, l’écotourisme, la productivité des sols, la sécurité relative à l’eau, les ressources minérales et les énergies renouvelables.

    Abstract: L’élaboration et l’entrée en vigueur de l’Accord des Nations Unies sur les stocks chevauchants en 1995 marquait la volonté de la communauté internationale de renforcer les organisations régionales de gestion des pêches, établies pour assurer la gestion des ressources hauturières partagées. Cette étude dresse le bilan des changements introduits dans ces organisations et met en évidence le processus progressif d’amélioration qui a débouché sur de véritables succès. Quoiqu’il n’existe pas de recette unique pour mener à bien ce processus, l’étude souligne qu’il est essentiel de veiller à la présence de certains éléments fondamentaux permettant de créer et de maintenir la dynamique économique et politique indispensable au changement. La modification des incitations économiques sous-jacentes pourrait contribuer au rapprochement des intérêts des pays membres, propice à la formation de coalitions en faveur de la réforme. Cette étude s’appuie sur les informations contenues dans les études de plusieurs ORGP et plus particulièrement de la Commission pour la conservation du thon rouge du sud, de la Commission internationale pour la conservation des thonidés de l'Atlantique, de l’Organisation des pêches de l’Atlantique nord-ouest et de la Commission des pêches de l'Atlantique nord-est.

    Abstract: Too many fishing vessels chasing too few fish is a persistent problem in many countries. To address this, governments often turn to vessel decommissioning schemes as a means of adjusting fishing capacity to match available fish resources. This report presents a set of best practice guidelines on the design and implementation of decommissioning schemes. By drawing on case studies of decommissioning schemes from OECD and non-OECD countries, it provides policy makers and fisheries managers with detailed analysis of the economic issues surrounding decommissioning schemes.

    Abstract: Fisheries represent up to 30% of state budget revenues in West African countries and employ 7 million people in West and Central Africa. If the sector is to develop, or simply continue to exist at present levels, a number of policy challenges will have to be addressed. The number of issues is vast, ranging from illiteracy to EU trade policy. The Sahel and West Africa Club (SWAC) and the OECD Fisheries Division are working with regional organisations to help them address the question of policy coherence. This book provides not only an analytical framework adapted to the local context, but also an action framework based on the facts and realities in the field in order to improve the coherence of fisheries policies.

    Keywords: Agriculture Environmental aspects ; OECD countries ; Environmental policy OECD countries ; Environmental protection OECD countries ; Agriculture and Food ; Environment ; OECD ; Landwirtschaft ; Umweltstatistik
    Abstract: In OECD countries, agriculture uses on average over 40% of land and water resources, and thus has significant affect on the environment. This report provides the latest and most comprehensive data and analysis on the environmental performance of agriculture in OECD countries since 1990. It covers key environmental themes including soil, water, air and biodiversity and looks at recent policy developments in all 30 countries. Over recent years the environmental performance of agriculture has improved in many countries, largely due to consumer pressure and changing public opinion. Many OECD countries are now tracking the environmental performance of agriculture, which is informing policy makers and society on the trends in agri-environmental conditions, and can provide a valuable aid to policy analysis. The indicators in this report provide crucial information to monitor and analyse the wide range of policy measures used in agriculture today, and how they are affecting the environment. Did You Know? In OECD countries, agriculture uses on average 40% of land and water resources.

    Abstract: Governments intervene in the agricultural sector through policies that both support and shape agricultural production. This leads to two important outcomes. First, agriculture specific programmes intended to increase the welfare of farmers can become capitalised into asset values. Second, many policies, in particular regulatory ones, reduce asset mobility, resulting in reduced economic efficiency due a sub-optimal allocation of resources. This study focuses on the capitalisation of government support into land rents and prices. It assesses the consequences of inflated asset values, and suggests lessons for future policy making.

    Abstract: This booklet synthesizes findings from analysis of agricultural policy and performance in three African countries: Cameroon, Ghana and Mali. Case studies of each of these countries were undertaken as part of the Support for African Agriculture Project (SAAP), a project largely financed by the French Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Agriculture and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). The purpose was to identify constraints to agricultural growth and poverty reduction that might be eased through better policy, both domestically and internationally. Analysis of agricultural performance focused on trends in output, factor use, and productivity. Analysis of agricultural policy featured measurement of domestic and international price distortions as well as the evolution of aid-financed public expenditures on agriculture.

    Abstract: These proceedings examine the nature and strength of jointness between agricultural commodity production and non-commodity outputs from the perspective of three areas important to the agricultural sector: rural development, environmental externalities and food security. This workshop also examined whether the relationships among these non-commodity outputs were complementary or competing. Finally, the policy implications that could be derived from the findings of this workshop were also a key element in the discussions and are summarised in the Rapporteur’s summary.

    Keywords: Agriculture and Food
    Abstract: Les pays de l’OCDE dépensent quelque 6 milliards d'USD par an pour venir en aide au secteur de la pêche. Ces dépenses visent en partie à assurer la gestion efficace des pêcheries, moyennant des services de recherche, d’administration et de contrôle des pêches. Toutefois, les bienfaits qui en résultent pour la rentabilité économique et la pérennité de la ressource sont sujets à controverse. Le soutien ainsi accordé a souvent été mis en cause dans la surpêche et la surcapitalisation, d’où l’idée que la réforme des aides pourrait se traduire par des améliorations d’ordre économique, environnemental et social. Grâce à cet éclairage nouveau, l’étude permettra aux décideurs de mieux cerner les enjeux complexes du secteur de la pêche — dans lequel la rentabilité économique, la résilience des communautés et la viabilité de la ressource appellent régulièrement l’attention.

    Keywords: Chile ; Agrarpolitik ; Agriculture and Food ; Chile
    Abstract: This Review measures the level and composition of support provided to Chilean agriculture, and evaluates the effectiveness of current measures in attaining their objectives. The study finds that Chile provides much lower support and protection to its agricultural sector than most OECD countries, even though government expenditures on the sector have trebled in real terms over the past ten years. About half of that spending is on public goods such as infrastructure and irrigation, while the other half consists mostly of measures that seek to make Chile’s poorer farmers more competitive. This report suggests ways in which the effectiveness of these policies might be enhanced, including by systematic evaluation of policy performance, by closer co-ordination across government agencies, and by framing policies for smallholders and salaried farm workers in an economy-wide context, so that agricultural policies can focus on potentially competitive farmers and be effectively distinguished from other development and social policies.

    Abstract: Pour les donneurs de l'aide au développement, l’objectif de croissance favorable aux pauvres appelle à un changement de comportement, et une action, même renforcée, s’inscrivant dans la continuité du passé n’y suffira pas. L'étude Vers une croissance pro-pauvres, centrée sur la croissance favorable aux pauvres, recense les principaux obstacles à l’instauration d’une telle croissance et propose des politiques et des stratégies pour les surmonter. Les recommandations qui y sont formulées visent à induire un changement de comportement chez les donneurs et à rehausser ainsi l’efficacité de la coopération pour le développement. Dans cet ouvrage, une attention particulière est prêtée au rôle du développement du secteur privé, de l’agriculture et des infrastructures vers une croissance favorable aux pauvres. Ces divers domaines, que de nombreux donneurs ont négligés dans les années 90, suscitent aujourd’hui un regain d’intérêt dans le cadre du programme d’action international pour le développement. Il expose aussi une méthodologie pour la conduite d’appréciations préalables de l’impact sur la pauvreté, outil qui se révélera précieux pour tous ceux qui souhaitent optimiser l’effet des actions de développement en matière de réduction de la pauvreté.

    Abstract: The changing pattern of international agricultural trade has profound implications for Africa. The book’s authors discuss these trade flows, map the corporate landscape of agro-food, (including the emergent indigenous sector), and assess trends in international development co-operation in the corporate sector. Particular focus is given to “aid for trade” programmes that try to foster private-sector development and trade-capacity building. A final chapter, drawing lessons from five country case studies, provides evidence of the (in)effectiveness of government intervention and donor programmes to promote the marketing of African agriculture.

Ils s’intéressent plus particulièrement aux programmes « d’aide à l’appui des échanges » qui visent à favoriser le développement du secteur privé et le renforcement des capacités. Le dernier chapitre, qui tire les enseignements de cinq études de cas, donne des éléments concrets illustrant l’(in)efficacité de l’intervention des pouvoirs publics et des programmes des donneurs à l’appui de la commercialisation des produits agricoles africains.

    Abstract: La pêche représente jusqu’à 30 % des recettes fiscales des États d’Afrique de l’Ouest et emploie 7 millions de personnes en Afrique de l’Ouest et en Afrique centrale. Pour que le secteur se développe, ou continue simplement d’exister sans perdre de terrain, les pouvoirs publics doivent résoudre plusieurs problèmes. Aussi nombreux que variés, les écueils vont de l’analphabétisme à la politique commerciale de l’UE. Le Club du Sahel et de l’Afrique de l’Ouest (CSAO) et la Division Politique des pêcheries de l’OCDE collaborent avec les organisations régionales pour les aider dans ce qui a trait à la cohérence des politiques. Cet ouvrage présente un cadre d’analyse adapté au contexte local, mais aussi un cadre d’action fondé sur les faits et les réalités du domaine, dans l’optique d’améliorer la cohérence des politiques de la pêche.

    Abstract: Les pouvoirs publics interviennent dans le secteur agricole par des mesures qui tout à la fois soutiennent et orientent la production. Il en résulte deux effets importants. Premièrement, les programmes spécifiques à l’agriculture destinés à accroître le bien-être des producteurs peuvent être capitalisés dans la valeur des actifs. Deuxièmement, de nombreuses dispositions, en particulier réglementaires, réduisent la mobilité des actifs, d’où une perte d’efficience économique due à l’allocation suboptimale des ressources. Cette étude analyse la capitalisation du soutien public dans les loyers et les prix des terres. Elle examine les conséquences de l’inflation des valeurs patrimoniales et les enseignements à tirer pour l’action publique.

    Abstract: Governments in many OECD countries, as well as in a number of countries outside the OECD area, actively promote the production and use of alternative transport fuels made from agricultural commodities. This report, jointly produced by the OECD and the IEA and drawing on information from a number of other organisations, analyses the implications of this support from various perspectives. The report shows that the high level of policy support contributes little to reduced greenhouse-gas emissions and other policy objectives, while it adds to a range of factors that raise international prices for food commodities. It concludes that there are alternatives to current support policies for biofuels that would more effectively allow governments to achieve their objectives.

    Abstract: Réduire le soutien distorsif dans le cadre d’une réforme de la politique agricole accroît l’efficience économique dans son ensemble par l’amélioration de l’affectation des ressources. L’ajustement peut néanmoins avoir des effets préjudiciables sur certains ménages agricoles et sur d’autres acteurs du secteur, notamment à court terme. Il peut également y avoir des répercussions négatives en amont et en aval, ainsi que sur les régions tributaires de produits dont les prix et la production diminuent à mesure que le soutien et la protection sont réduits. Malgré la nécessité de procéder à des réformes pour respecter les engagements commerciaux multilatéraux et bilatéraux et pour faire face aux contraintes budgétaires, ces effets préjudiciables sont l’une des principales raisons pour lesquelles les pouvoirs publics ont du mal à réformer leurs politiques.

    Abstract: Lorsque les pouvoirs publics réforment les politiques en vigueur, c’est pour améliorer leur efficacité et répondre à l’évolution des priorités sociales. La réforme suscite des résistances lorsque le fait qu’elle risque de pénaliser certaines catégories de la population suscite des inquiétudes ou lorsqu’elle a des incidences négatives sur d’autres objectifs de l’action publique. L’indemnisation est une réponse à ces résistances, qui peut lever les obstacles à la réforme et favoriser ainsi l’ajustement en accélérant son cours, mais elle risque elle-même d’entraver le processus de réforme si elle occulte les signaux du marché qui incitent à l’ajustement. Non seulement l’indemnisation n’est pas toujours nécessaire ni appropriée, mais elle ne devrait pas être considérée comme un préalable à la réforme.

    Abstract: Declining fish stocks and expanding fishing fleets have combined with growing competition from aquaculture to put increased pressure on the fishing sector to adjust the size and nature of its operations in many countries. In some fishing communities, almost sixty percent of jobs are linked to fishing and in many coastal areas there are few alternative employment opportunities for fishers. This conference proceedings analyses the social issues and policy challenges that arise from fisheries adjustment policies, and how OECD member countries are meeting those challenges.

    Abstract: Agricultural policies are dominated by broad measures such as market price support and general payments to all land, animals or farmers. As a result, it is often difficult to associate a particular policy with any specific objective. Recognising the challenge facing policy makers who wish to design more precisely targeted policies, this study defines the operational characteristics of targeted policies and illustrates best practice with concrete examples. The relationship between target variables and objectives is explored and practical ways to define targets or actions are also examined.

Nach wie vor besteht ein erhebliches Ost-West-Gefälle, und dieses hat eindeutig auch ländliche Dimensionen. Auch Faktoren wie GAP-Reformen, Bevölkerungsalterung und Migration werden wichtige Auswirkungen auf ländliche Räume haben. Dieser Bericht konstatiert, dass Deutschlands derzeitiger Ansatz im Bereich der ländlichen Entwicklung und der Politik für ländliche Räume in erster Linie sektorbezogen ist und daher weder der Vielfalt der ländlichen Regionen voll gerecht wird noch die Entwicklung von Programmen fördert, die auf die Bedürfnisse der jeweiligen Orte zugeschnitten sind.

    Abstract: Concerns about the cost of implementing and monitoring agricultural policies are mounting with the development of more decoupled and targeted policies. While these costs are inherent in the policy process, reducing them will bring benefits in terms of better use of public funds, and minimising the overall economic costs of policies. The report suggests ways to do so without compromising the aims of the policies. Ways to reduce costs include sharing experiences across agencies, regions or countries, exploiting already existing administrative networks, integrating government and private information systems, reducing the number of agencies and using the latest information technologies.

    Abstract: This publication looks at the importance of the EU sugar industry in the global sugar market. It analyses how sugar reforms adopted by the EU council in 2006 have led to market changes. The first part of this report looks at what might happen if complete policy reform and full trade liberalisation took place. This gives the reader insight into the impact that sugar support policies have had in making this industry one of the most heavily subsidised, protected and distorted agricultural commodities markets. The effect that sugar support policies in the EU and worldwide have made to production and trade developments in other countries are also highlighted. The second part of this report looks forward, to examine how the sugar market may evolve up to 2015 in light of the sugar policy changes which were introduced in 2006. Finally, an initial evaluation of the EU sugar policy reform is made in light of the OECD Ministerial principles for agricultural policy reform. DYK: The wages of sugar farmers in the EU are three times above the world average

    Abstract: For aid donors, the pro-poor growth agenda is not business as usual and more of the same will not be sufficient. Focusing on pro-poor growth and income poverty, Promoting Pro-Poor Growth: Policy Guidance for Donors identifies binding constraints and offers policies and strategies to address them. Policy recommendations aim to help change donor behaviour and pave the way for more effective development co-operation in these areas. This compendium pays special attention to the role of private sector development, agriculture and infrastructure in pro-poor growth – areas that were neglected by many donors during the 1990s but are currently receiving renewed attention in the international development agenda. It also presents a methodology for conducting ex-ante poverty impact assessment, a valuable tool for those whose aim is to maximise the poverty reducing impacts of development interventions.

    Abstract: Governments reform policies in order to improve their efficiency and respond to changing social priorities. Reform is resisted when concerns exist about those who may lose out in the process, or when other policy goals are negatively impacted. Compensation can remove barriers to reform by addressing this resistance, and can contribute to adjustment by speeding its process but may itself impede the reform process if it masks the market signals that lead to adjustment. Compensation is not always necessary or appropriate, and should not be seen a prerequisite for reform.

    Abstract: Reforming agricultural policies by reducing distorting support improves economic efficiency as a whole through a better allocation of resources. This implies that adjustment may have adverse effects on some agricultural households and other people engaged in the sector, in particular in the short term. There may also be negative impacts on upstream and downstream sectors and on regional economies that rely on commodities whose prices and production levels fall with reductions in support and protection. Despite pressures to reform to meet multilateral and bilateral trade commitments and to respond to budgetary constraints, these adverse impacts are a major reason why governments find it difficult to make progress in policy reform.

A l’issue de l’enquête, force est de constater que la gestion des pêcheries fait en pratique intervenir un large éventail d’instruments de type marché dans les pays de l’OCDE. D’où, le plus souvent, des améliorations en termes d’efficience économique du secteur et de viabilité des stocks de poissons.

Il est de ce fait souvent difficile d'associer une mesure particulière à un objectif donné. Face au défi que constitue pour les décideurs l'amélioration du ciblage des politiques agricoles, cette étude définit les critères caractérisant les politiques ciblées et, à l'aide d'exemples concrets, présente des bonnes pratiques pour la mise en place de telles politiques. La relation entre les objectifs et les variables ciblées est explorée et des manières concrètes de définir les cibles ou les actions sont examinées.

    Keywords: Agriculture and Food
    Abstract: Accurate and complete information is needed to guide the formation, implementation, monitoring and assessment of agricultural policy. Obtaining both qualitative and quantitative information is vital for ensuring that policy measures are targeted, efficient and cost effective. Quantification of impact and benefit-cost analysis are only possible if information of sufficient quantity and quality is available. Meeting this requirement is increasingly challenging due to an expansion in the range and complexity of policy concerns associated with agriculture. Problems can be posed by a lack of knowledge about technical relationships that underlie key processes, by the inherent uncertainty of outcomes or difficulties in monitoring these, and by information asymmetry (i.e. situations in which the information necessary to inform policymaking exists but it is difficult or costly to obtain). This study examines information needs to guide the formation, implementation, monitoring and assessment of policies for agriculture, outlines deficiencies, argues for selective improvements in data availability, quality and relevance in order to satisfy policy priorities, and suggests ways to achieve these. Methods for dealing with remaining deficiencies when designing and implementing policies are also outlined...

    Abstract: The governments of most developed, and many developing, countries impose border measures—tariffs, tariff rate quotas and export subsidies—to boost the domestic market prices of agricultural commodities. In some OECD countries, governments also provide financial support to their agricultural sector through other means, such as direct budgetary payments, production quotas and marketing-loan programs. These interventions typically distort the allocation of resources, leading to sub-optimal production and consumption decisions. Widespread agricultural policy reform would undoubtedly improve the global allocation of resources. But, due to differential protection levels and policy instruments across commodities and among countries, reform can also produce a complex pattern of adjustments, some of which may appear to be counter-intuitive. Using a partial-equilibrium agricultural commodity model with rich policy detail, this study examines the market impacts of agricultural policy reform annually over a 10-year horizon. The study finds that the biggest impacts of agricultural policy reform would be on world dairy markets. Including the effect of non-agricultural liberalisation from a general-equilibrium model does not meaningfully alter results, suggesting that sectoral analysis in many cases is sufficient.

    Abstract: Les coûts de mise en oeuvre et de suivi des politiques agricoles font l'objet d'une attention croissante à mesure que les politiques découplées et ciblées se développent. Ces coûts sont inhérents au processus de mise en place des politiques mais il sera toujours avantageux de les réduire pour améliorer l'utilisation des fonds publics et minimiser le coût économique global des politiques. Le rapport propose des solutions pour le faire sans compromettre le succès des politiques. Parmi ces moyens, il suggère le partage des expériences des différentes agences, régions ou pays, l'utilisation des réseaux administratifs déjà existants, l'intégration des systèmes d'information publics et privés, la réduction du nombre d'agences et l'utilisation des technologies de l'information les plus récentes.

    Keywords: Agriculture and Food
    Abstract: L'élaboration, la mise en oeuvre, le suivi et l'évaluation des politiques agricoles doivent être guidés par des informations précises et complètes. Il est essentiel de disposer d'informations qualitatives et quantitatives pour pouvoir bien cibler les mesures gouvernementales et en assurer l'efficience et le bien fondé économique. L'analyse coûts-avantages et l'évaluation quantitative de l'impact des politiques supposent de disposer d?informations de qualité en quantité suffisante. Or cette tâche est de plus en plus difficile en raison de l'accroissement de l?éventail et de la complexité des questions associées à l'agriculture. Le manque de connaissances sur les relations techniques qui sous-tendent certains processus clés, les incertitudes quant aux effets produits ou la difficulté de les suivre, de même que l'asymétrie de l'information (lorsque l'information nécessaire aux responsables des politiques existe mais qu'il est difficile ou coûteux de se la procurer) sont autant de problèmes à surmonter. La présente étude passe en revue les besoins d'informations nécessaires pour guider l'élaboration, la mise en oeuvre, le suivi et l'évaluation des politiques agricoles, met en évidence les déficits, préconise différentes mesures destinées à améliorer la disponibilité, la qualité et la pertinence des données pour répondre aux priorités de l'action publique et propose des options pour y parvenir. Elle propose également des méthodes pour combler les lacunes persistantes lors de l'élaboration et de la mise en oeuvre des politiques.

    Abstract: Les gouvernements de la plupart des pays développés, ainsi que des pays en développement, mettent en place des mesures douanières (tarifs, contingents tarifaires et subventions à l’exportation) afin de pousser les prix domestiques des produits agricoles à la hausse. Dans certains pays de l’OCDE, les gouvernements donnent des aides financières au secteur agricole à travers d’autres moyens également. Typiquement, ces interventions créent des distorsions sur l’allocation des ressources, qui mènent à des décisions non optimales sur la consommation et la production. Utilisant un modèle agricole d’équilibre partiel avec un niveau de détail des politiques précis, cette étude examine par année, les impacts sur le marché des réformes de la politique agricole pour les 10 années à venir.

    Keywords: Mexiko ; Ländliche Entwicklung ; Entwicklungsplanung ; Agriculture and Food ; Governance ; Urban, Rural and Regional Development ; Mexico
    Abstract: The challenges faced by Mexico’s rural areas are significant. Mexico's countryside is home to a large population (more than the overall population of many OECD countries) that is highly dispersed and largely living in poverty. The potential of these areas is however significant, as their vast (and young) human resources, their natural, cultural and physical assets could provide, in a more diversified economy, a greater contribution to national development. This review shows that the challenges and potential of rural areas are spatially differentiated and therefore require a place-based policy approach. The Mexican government has had significant success in framing a multi-sector rural policy. Some of these accomplishments can provide examples of best practice for other OECD countries. The continuity and institutionalization of these advances are a priority. In addition, efforts should be devoted to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of rural development programmes and to guaranteeing coherence with other major sectoral policies. This will contribute to addressing the country's major territorial and individual inequalities and will transform rural regions into sources of national development.

    Abstract: This review discusses the challenges and opportunities of German rural areas. Significant differences between East and West persist and many of these have clear rural dimensions. Factors such as CAP reforms, ageing of the German population and migration trends will also have important rural implications. Many of these issues involve more than rural policy, but rural policy has a place in resolving all of the key issues. However, for rural policy to be an effective part of the policy process it will have to evolve beyond the existing limits in Germany. This review states that Germany's current approach to rural development and rural policy is mainly sectoral and thus does not fully capture the diversity of rural regions.

    Abstract: Subsidies are pervasive in OECD countries and are among the most powerful public policy instruments. But they often introduce unintended consequences, such as budget deficits, pollution, unemployment and trade distortions. This report contains the proceedings of an OECD workshop on subsidy reform held in October 2005 under the auspices of the OECD programme on sustainable development. It provides an overview of approaches for assessing subsidies and associated taxes, and looks at country experiences in reforming subsidies in the agriculture, fisheries, industry, and transport sectors.

    Abstract: Agriculture is no longer the dominant sector in rural economies in OECD countries. But it is still the key sector in managing the land, and many ancillary industries are dependant on agriculture. Both agricultural and rural policy are changing to respond to society's concerns regarding food safety, food security, animal welfare, environmental protection and the viability of rural areas. These proceedings of the OECD Workshop on Coherence of Agricultural and Rural Development Policies examined these issues through thematic studies and country experiences. They find that rural is not synonymous with agriculture and agriculture is not always rural as much agricultural production occurs in peri-urban areas. The goals of agricultural and rural policies are different, but policy coherence is essential.

    Abstract: The Development Effectiveness of Food Aid: Does Tying Matter? provides a detailed look into two food aid issues. First, the study assesses the effectiveness of the various ways in which food aid can promote food security and poverty alleviation. Second, the study demonstrates that food aid in-kind carries substantial efficiency costs, conservatively estimated as at least 30% on average. In contrast, most local purchases or regionally sourced imports are relatively efficient ways of providing food aid. Thus, there is scope for considerable efficiency gains by switching to less restricted sourcing of food. The study therefore argues that, in most circumstances, financial aid (cash) is the preferable way to fund direct distribution of food or to provide budgetary support for general development or project assistance.

    Abstract: The South African economy, including agriculture, is increasingly integrated in world markets with about one-third of agricultural production exported. Wide ranging reforms liberalising domestic and foreign trade, and lowering support to agriculture were implemented in the 1990s. This first comprehensive OECD review of agriculture in South Africa assesses agricultural policies in the context of liberalisation reforms taken, new market pressures, land reform, and Black Economic Empowerment measures and makes a series of policy recommendations.

It finds that market-like instruments have generally improved the economic efficiency of the sector, and have helped to ensure the sustainability of fish stocks.

    Abstract: Some 500 million USD are spent annually on fisheries development projects. But fisheries access agreements and trade policies are sometimes applied in ways that dampen developing countries' ability to benefit fully from their rich marine resources. Also, many development projects do not pay sufficient regard to the sustainability issues that are a key for the future of the fishing sector. This publication, a compilation of papers from the Workshop on Policy Coherence for Development in Fisheries, addresses these issues.

    Abstract: These OECD Biosafety Consensus Documents identify elements of scientific information used in the environmental safety and risk assessment of transgenic organisms which are common to OECD member countries. This is intended to encourage information sharing and prevent duplication of effort among countries. This book offers ready access to those consensus documents which have been published thus far. As such, it should be of value to applicants for commercial uses of transgenic crops, regulators in national authorities as well as the wider scientific community. More information on the OECD's work related to the biosafety of transgenic organisms is found at BioTrack Online (http://www.oecd.org/biotrack).

    Series Statement: International Standards for Fruit and Vegetables
    Keywords: Agriculture and Food
    Abstract: This book provides comments and illustrations to facilitate the common interpretation of the standard in force for grading strawberries in international trade under the Scheme for the Application of International Standards for Fruit and Vegetables set up by the OECD in 1962. It is therefore a valuable tool for both the Inspection Authorities and professional bodies responsible for the application of standards or those interested in international trade of strawberries.

    Abstract: All types of agricultural support measures are likely to have an impact on investment. This is particularly the case of the most coupled forms of support such as market price support. However, the dimension of the investment impacts may differ significantly across policy measures since they have different impacts on the farmer’s decision environment. For instance, they have different impact on effective incentive prices and different income transfer efficiency. Under these circumstances the investment effects can be very different, requiring a specific empirical analysis.

    Abstract: The conclusions and policy implications presented in this report build on i) the estimates of relative price effects of different kinds of stylised policy measures, first developed using the Policy Evaluation Model PEMl1 (OECD, 2001b), ii) a conceptual framework on decoupling (OECD, 2002a) which drew attention to the potential for risk-related and dynamic effects which theory suggests are likely to occur in addition to the relative price effects, and iii) a series of studies aimed at explaining, analysing and, where possible,quantifying some of the potentially important static, risk and dynamic effects and their implication on the degree of decoupling of different measures. Annexes 1 and 2 give some details of the issues investigated in each of the background studies.

    Abstract: This report is divided into four parts. The first gives a brief description of base area and set-aside provisions in the EU’s direct area payments scheme, and examines the extent to which they are binding. The second part analyses the degree of effective decoupling of the scheme. Particular attention is paid to the impact of base area and set-aside constraints on the degree of decoupling. In the context of total decoupling, the third part looks at the impact of the EU system of direct area payments, in particular base area and set-aside provisions, on the variability of world prices. The final part sets out the conclusions. It endeavours, on the basis of the specific findings reported here, to gain broader insight into the impact of quantitative constraints on the degree of decoupling of support measures to agricultural producers.

    Abstract: This paper is part of the OECD project on decoupling and follows the analytical framework defined in OECD (2001). The main objective is to estimate the importance of the dynamic investment effects of area payments using farm level data from the Italian FADN survey. It investigates the investment response by crop producers under the assumption that they are risk averse, and there is uncertainty concerning prices. A dynamic econometric model is estimated. Investment is defined as current expenditure on machinery and buildings for crop production. This paper uses the same data as OECD (2002) and makes estimations and simulations in a way that can be compared with the results obtained in that paper.

    Abstract: This paper is a first attempt to estimate some of the risk-related effects ofagricultural policies as classified in the Producer Support Estimates (PSEs). This is a relatively new area of research and, therefore, all the results have to be interpreted with caution. Specific conclusions about specific programmes would require more sophisticated empirical testing. The results in this study are first approximations to the relative magnitude of these risk related effects.

    Abstract: The principal objective of the present study is to look at the economics of biofuel production and the likely impacts of an expected growth in biofuel-related demand for agricultural products on commodity markets. It describes the economics and policies in biofuel markets by bringing together available information on production technologies, costs and policy measures in major biofuel producing countries. Additionally based on assumptions where data are missing, production costs are calculated for the year 2004 (the base year for the impact analysis below) and compared across countries and production processes as well as with oil-based fuel prices to show the relative competitiveness of biofuel production. Impacts on agricultural markets are analysed using the OECD partial equilibrium model for temperate zone agricultural commodities, Aglink, in connection with the FAO-counterpart, Cosimo, and the OECD World Sugar Model. A number of modifications are made to the models to allow for this type of analysis, as well as to model the impact of changes in crude oil prices on agricultural production costs. Model results of a set of scenarios are compared in order to identify the specific impacts of expected growth in biofuels production as well as those of changes in world crude oil prices.

    Abstract: Agriculture is a major user of water and is responsible for much of its pollution. But the agricultural sector faces increasing competition for scarce water supplies from urban and industrial users and, increasingly, to sustain ecosystems. This conference proceedings explores how both governments and the private sector can expand the role of markets to allocate water used by all sectors and to get agricultural producers to account for the pollution that their sector generates.

The approach taken is conceptual or theoretical - designed to improve understanding of the different ways in which agricultural policies affect production and trade.

    Abstract: For OECD and non-OECD countries alike, the global fisheries situation poses topical questions of coherence between development and fisheries in a number of policy areas. This publication examines these questions and proposes a framework for in-depth analysis of coherence issues in five main policy areas where fisheries and development policies interact, namely environmental, technology, economic, social, and governance policies. The framework is illustrated with ten concrete country and regional case studies, analysing issues that range from international fishing agreements and the relationship between industrial and artisanal fishing fleets to fisheries trade and development policies, as well as fisheries development and poverty reduction.

    Abstract: The aim of the study is to measure the impact of the 1992 reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) on arable crop yields in the European Union (EU), and more specifically to quantify the impact that the introduction of compensatory area payments had on yields. The CAP reform in May 1992 consisted largely in reducing support prices and offsetting the ensuing loss of income with direct payments based on factors of production, i.e. acreage in the case of COP (cereal, oilseed and protein) crops.

    Abstract: Earlier studies in the OECD project on decoupling estimated static models of crop production incorporating risk aversion, following the analytical framework in OECD (2001). In contrast, this paper studies primarily dynamic models of crop investment. The province of Manitoba is selected as an example of Canadian prairie crop production, and investment is defined as current expenditure on machinery and equipment for Manitoba crop production (the data are not crop specific). This is the first econometric study of dynamic crop investment decisions for Canada, and as far as can be ascertained this is the first econometric study for any country of dynamic crop investment under risk aversion. Econometric results are used to simulate impacts of agricultural programmes on crop investment.

    Abstract: En Afrique de l’Ouest, environ 16 millions de personnes vivent directement ou indirectement de la culture du coton. Or, les subventions du monde développé ont fait baisser le cours du coton, rendant la concurrence difficile pour les producteurs d'Afrique occidentale. Pour compliquer les choses, les négociations de l’OMC sur le coton ont été suspendues. Ce livre engage à poursuivre le dialogue entre pays développés et pays en développement sur ce point. Il montre à quel point le coton joue un rôle économique et social de premier plan en Afrique de l’Ouest. Il retrace le processus de consultations sur la crise du coton dans cette partie du monde afin de trouver une solution négociée et acceptable pour toutes les parties concernées. Enfin, il est aussi question des défis et des mesures qu’il convient de prendre à moyen et long terme pour éviter l’effondrement brutal de ce sous-secteur.

    Abstract: OECD governments pay out around USD 6 billion a year to support the fisheries sector. Some of this expenditure is provided to help ensure the effective management of fisheries through the provision of research, administrative and enforcement services. However, its effects on economic profitability and resource sustainability are open to debate. Such support has often been linked to over-fishing and over-capitalisation, and its reform may lead to improved economic, environmental and social outcomes. This report analyses the impacts of such transfers from a sustainable development perspective by addressing the economic, environmental and social dimensions of financial transfers. Through this innovative focus, this study will deepen policy makers’ understanding of the complex issues at play in the fisheries sector — a sector that is characterised by ongoing concerns regarding economic profitability, community resilience, and resource sustainability.

The evaluation is based on criteria for good agricultural and fisheries policy as agreed to by OECD countries. Such criteria, if implemented, would support economically healthy sectors that contribute to the wider economy, respect natural resources and use inputs effectively without resorting to distorting subsidies.

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. The Development Effectiveness of Food Aid; Does Tying Matter?
    Keywords: Agriculture and Food ; Development
    Abstract: Cet ouvrage étudie en détail deux questions liées à l’aide alimentaire. D’abord il examine l’efficacité de l’aide alimentaire pour promouvoir la sécurité alimentaire et la lutte contre la pauvreté. Il s’agit là d’une question qui n’est toujours pas tranchée : les études indépendantes sur les activités de développement liées à l’aide alimentaire oscillent entre un optimisme prudent et un pessimisme nuancé. Cette étude montre clairement que l’aide alimentaire en nature a des coûts importants estimés à au moins 30% en moyenne. Par contre, la plupart des achats locaux et des importations issues de la région sont des moyens efficaces de fournir une aide alimentaire. On pourrait ainsi réaliser des gains d’efficience considérables en élargissant les sources d’approvisionnement en denrées alimentaires. Cette étude montre qu’une aide financière constitue dans la plupart des cas la meilleure solution. C’est presque toujours le moyen le plus efficace de financer une distribution directe de vivres ou d’apporter une aide budgétaire au développement en général ou à des projets.
