This paper considers the effects of the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) on developing countries. Taking Uganda as a case study, it examines the impact of proposed as well as potential EU agricultural policy reforms on economic structure, poverty and food security. First, it assesses the world price impacts of CAP reform. Second, it evaluates the national price-level effects, taking into account the degree of transmission between world market prices and national prices. Third, the paper calculates the impact of changes in national prices on household welfare and poverty.
