The OECD Agricultural Outlook 2002-2007, now in its eighth edition, shows that sluggish economic growth, weak demand and continued high levels of spending on farm support are slowing the recovery in world prices.

This tenth edition of Agricultural Policies in Transition Economies shows that the transition has brought about a notable overall reduction in the policy distortions in the agricultural sectors of Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Russia, and Slovenia.

This study takes an in-depth look at the dairy sector in OECD countries in order to see how agricultural subsidies and environmental policies are impacting the environment and international competitiveness of dairy products.
