Dec 2005

This publication grades rich countries’ barriers against developing country exports. The author concludes that with respect to developing countries, New Zealand is least protective, followed by the US, Canada and Australia. EU barriers are about three times as high as those of the US in agriculture and twice as high overall. Finally the publication argues that agricultural tariffs - not the subsidies - are the largest barrier to exports from developing countries.
