Book (series)No. 6. Sugar: the impact of reforms to sugar sector policies. A guide to contemporary analyses
FAO Trade Policy Technical Notes on issues related to the WTO negotiations on agriculture
2005This technical note is intended as a guide to assist in the interpretation of a range of existing analytical studies of the impact of current sugar sector policies on world market conditions and on developing country producers, and of the insights that these studies can provide (and those that they cannot) in determining the potential impacts of future reform initiatives. This is especially important in the case of the sugar sector, since recent announcements of major reforms are yet to be fully incorporated into contemporary analytical studies.
