This allows a consistent comparison across emerging economies and with OECD countries in terms of changes in the level and composition of support to producers and the sector as a whole.

Chile
Chile has a relatively open trade policy with support historically concentrated on a few commodities. The country operates a price band system (PBS) for wheat, wheat flour and sugar, but with high world prices and reforms to the PBS necessary in order to comply with WTO obligations, the economic significance of the PBS has diminished. Across the sector, price support has continued to decline and farm prices are now almost exclusively market determined.
