Agricultural Policy Monitoring and Evaluation 2022
Reforming Agricultural Policies for Climate Change Mitigation
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. It finds that the continued rise in agricultural support has been slower than sector growth in recent years, but has been driven to record highs mainly by temporary factors. The share of general services to the sector (including innovation and infrastructure) in total support provided to the sector has decreased to 13%. This year’s report focuses on the potential for agriculture and agricultural policies to contribute to climate change mitigation. It argues that short-term agricultural policy responses to global crises must simultaneously address current challenges and support reforms to combat climate change and distortions in international markets.

This chapter presents a cross-cutting analysis of agriculture policy trends based on information and support estimates gathered for 54 countries covered in OECD’s Agricultural Policy Monitoring and Evaluation 2022. It provides an overview of recent economic and market developments that influence the context for the implementation of agricultural policies. It then briefly outlines the implications on agricultural markets and policies of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine by looking at both agricultural products and key inputs; an overview of policy responses by governments to help the agricultural sector and food systems to continue functioning is included in this section. The third section presents developments in agricultural policies in 2021-22, as well as an analysis of developments in the level and structure of support to agriculture and a discussion on the impacts of COVID-19 on support provided in 2020 and 2021. Key recommendations for reforms to better address public objectives conclude this chapter.
