Agricultural Policy Monitoring and Evaluation 2021
Addressing the Challenges Facing Food Systems
This annual report monitors and evaluates agricultural policies in 54 countries, including the 38 OECD countries, the five non-OECD EU Member States, and 11 emerging economies. The report includes country specific analysis based on up-to-date estimates of support to agriculture that are compiled using a comprehensive system of measurement and classification – the Producer and Consumer Support Estimates (PSE and CSE) and related indicators. This year’s report focuses on policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and analyses the implications of agricultural support policies for the performance of food systems.

Brazil
Brazil’s relatively low levels of support and protection to its agricultural sector reflect its position as a competitive exporter. Producer support as a share of gross farm receipts (PSE) fell from 7.6% to 1.5% between 2000-02 and 2018-20. In the last five years, PSE fell both in nominal terms and as a percentage of gross farm receipts. There is very little market price support (MPS) and domestic prices almost fully align with international markets with a ratio (NPC) of 1.00. Most support to producers is through input payments, in particular concessional credit, and to lesser extent crop insurance. Concessional credit is available for farm marketing and working capital, but also for investment fixed capital. The products with the highest rates of specific commodity transfer (SCT) were wheat, rice and cotton, all below 10% of commodity gross farm receipts.
