16/06/2022 - The OECD will release the latest estimates of government support to agriculture along with monitoring and evaluation of agricultural policy developments on Thursday 23 June 2022, at 11:00 CEST (09:00 GMT).

 

Agricultural Policy Monitoring and Evaluation 2022 provides insights into the increasingly complex nature of agricultural policy. The report is based on the OECD’s comprehensive system for measuring and classifying support to agriculture — the Producer and Consumer Support Estimates (PSE and CSE) and related indicators. The report covers OECD members, as well as five non-OECD EU member states and eleven emerging and developing economies. Overall, the 54 countries covered by the report account for almost three-quarters of global agricultural output.

 

Information and data from the report, including the main conclusions, will be freely accessible on the OECD’s web site at https://oe.cd/monitoring.  You are invited to include this Internet link in media coverage.

 

Key findings of Agricultural Policy Monitoring and Evaluation 2022 will be the subject of a virtual panel discussion on Thursday 23 June, starting at 15:00 CEST. Panelists will include:

 

• Marion Jansen, OECD director of trade and agriculture
• Martin Von Lampe, OECD senior agricultural policy analyst
• Alan Matthews, Professor Emeritus of European Agricultural Policy, Trinity College (Ireland)
• Nathalie Girouard, OECD environment directorate

 

Register for the virtual event, which is open to media and the public.
