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 Secretariat1
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 the information provided by the Secretariat for the purposes of the
Article 18.5 consultations in November 2002 (G/AG/W/ 32/Rev.5).  The attached tables contain, for
selected products/product groups and Members, data on the development of export volumes
(including food aid) and shares in world exports between 1993 and the most recent year for which
data were available.2  In addition, the attached charts show, 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/wheat flour
(ii) coarse grains
(iii) rice
(iv) sugar
(v) skim milk powder(vi) butter and butter oil
(vii) cheese
(viii) whole milk powder
3
(ix) bovine meat(x) pigmeat(xi) poultry meat
(xii) oilseeds and,
(xiii) fruit and vegetables.
4. The Table below shows the aggregate export values of the product categories listed in
paragraph 3 above in the period 1993 to 2001 ("selected" agricultural products).  In addition,
                                                     
1 This document has been prepared under the Secret ariat's own responsibility and is without prejudice
to the positions of Members or to their rights or obligations under the WTO.
2 Data for the base period (1986-90), as well as for 1991 and 1992, are included in the previous
revisions of this paper.
3 Whole milk powder is, in terms of world trade, the main product within the product group "other milk
products" in respect of which a number of Members have export subsidy reduction commitments.G/AG/W/32/Rev.6
Page 2
aggregate export values are shown for agricultural products other than the selected products ("other"
agricultural products).  The basket of "other" agricultural products includes basic agricultural
products, such as cocoa or wool, but also many processed products, such as cereal preparations or
wine.  These "other" agricultural products account for slightly more than half of world exports of
agricultural products.

Notes:
(1) Data are net of intra-EC trade.  EC data are for the EC (15) as from 1993.
(2) "Selected agricultural products" include cereals, sugar, butter/butter oil, skim milk powder, whole milk powder,
cheese, bovine meat, pigmeat, poultry meat, oilseeds and fruit and vegetables.
(3) The FAO definition of total agricultural products (first row above) comes close, but is not identical, to the product
coverage of the Agreement on Agriculture as defined in Annex 1 thereto.  See document G/AG/NG/S/6/Rev.1 for
agricultural trade data according to the coverage of Annex 1 of the Agreement.

Technical Notes
"Selected" product groups
5. The market shares of the selected product groups presented are based on export volumes,
except for fruit and vegetables.  The shares of fruit and vegetables are based on export values.
6. Three categories of Members are distinguished in the tables:
(i) WTO Members with export subsidy reduction commitments,
(ii) "significant exporters", and(iii) others.
7. Each table includes all Members which have, according to their Schedules, export subsidy
reduction commitments with respect to the selected product/product group concerned.  In addition,
those Members are included which are identified in the list of "significant exporters" for the purpose
of the Committee's notification requirements on ex port subsidy commitments (G/AG/2/Add.1 refers).
Furthermore, in order to provide a more comprehensive picture of the development of shares in world
exports, in a few cases it was considered useful to include selected other WTO Members and non-
Members, in particular those which have emerged as major exporters during the period covered.  For
each product/product group, countries are ranked in descending order based on their exports in the
most recent year.G/AG/W/32/Rev.6
Page 3
8. The product definition of the statistical data presented in this note does not necessarily match
the product definitions used for the purpose of export subsidy reduction commitments.  This point
should be borne in 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, theUnited States' export subsidy reduction commitment for coarse grains does not cover corn.  Members
with reduction commitments on the basis of aggregate product groups are included in the tables of
each individual product/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 included in the tables
relating to products/product groups where they have "significant exporter" status.
"Other" agricultural products
9. The world market shares in "other" agricultural products of selected exporters are presented in
Table 14(a).  For reasons of data availability, the exporters represent the leading countries in terms of
total agricultural exports, not necessarily of exports of "other" agricultural products.
Data10. The data provided in this note 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 and values as well as year-to-year changes of shares in world export
volumes/values.  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 orthe revision of data.
11. The time period covered is 1993 until the most recent year for which data are available from
the sources used.  In particular, FAO data are currently available only up to 2001.  For reasons of
consistency, more recent data available from other sources were not used to complement FAO data.
12. The trade data of the EC as well as the aggregat e exports (referred to as "world totals" in the
tables) exclude intra-EC trade.  It should be noted that the FAO data for the EC refer to the EC (15) as
from 1993.  The International Grains Council provides data for the EC (15) as from 1994/95 and the
International Sugar Organization as from 1995.
13. The country-specific and commodity-specific explanatory notes which are contained in the
sources are not reproduced in this note.  The symbol " – " has been used in the tables to denote not
available or not applicable.G/AG/W/32/Rev.6
