This dataset and predefined summary tables are a complement to the report Agricultural Policy Monitoring and Evaluation 2021, which monitors agricultural policy developments in 37 OECD member countries, 5 non-OECD European Union member states and 12 emerging and developing economies: Argentina, Brazil, China, Costa Rica, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, the Philippines, the Russian Federation, South Africa, Ukraine and Viet Nam. Costa Rica became the 38th Member of the OECD in May 2021, but in this dataset, it is not included in the OECD total.
The OECD uses a comprehensive system for measuring and classifying support to agriculture - the Producer and Consumer Support Estimates (PSEs and CSEs) and related indicators. They provide insight into the increasingly complex nature of agricultural policy and serve as a basis for OECD’s work on agricultural policies.
