“…As expected, this type of market management operating with artificially high prices contributed to increasing production, resulting in huge production surpluses that had to be sold on the world market using export subsidies. In the early 1980s, these alone consumed half of the CAP budget (Swinbank and Daugbjerg 2017). Inevitably, the extensive use of export support caused tensions with trading partners.…”

European agri-environmental policy has diverse and competing objectives. The Common Agricultural Policy has been the main policy framework guiding the European Union (EU) and its member states in the design and implementation of both mandatory and voluntary agrienvironmental policy instruments. Voluntary agri-environmental schemes, which were introduced in the 1990s, continue to play a central role in meeting the EU's environmental and climate objectives. We find that these schemes have faced problems in achieving their objectives, including their limited environmental impact, low adoption by farmers, and conflicts between their environmental and income support objectives. The article also finds scant empirical evidence concerning the environmental and economic impacts of the agri-environmental schemes. The article concludes with a discussion of the lessons from past experiences and potential future research and policy directions aimed at increasing the EU's achievement of agri-environmental and climate objectives.

“…Two issues are highlighted. First, that although the EU's common agricultural policy (CAP) has undergone a number of reforms since the 1990s, and consequently is rather less trade distorting than the "old" CAP of the 1970s and 80s (Swinbank & Daugbjerg, 2017), it is still characterised by excessively high tariffs on a number of products: on beef, butter and cheese, and sugar for example. Second, that a rather critical border between a post-Brexit UK and the remaining members of the EU (referred to as EU27 in this paper) is the one on the island of Ireland dividing the…”

Brexit, Ireland and the World Trade Organization: possible policy options for a future UK-Australia agrifood trade agreement Article Accepted Version Swinbank, A. (2018) Brexit, Ireland and the World Trade Organization: possible policy options for a future UK-Australia agrifood trade agreement. Abstract Prior to the United Kingdom's accession to the then European Economic Community (EEC), in 1973, Australia was a significant supplier of Britain's food. Membership of the EU resulted in trade diversion, closing the British market to Australian sugar for example. This paper questions whether the UK's exit from the EU ("Brexit") might usher in a new agri-food trade regime, restoring Australian farmers' access to the British market, or whether other opposing political economy considerations might prevail. Would the UK unilaterally adopt free trade? Can a comprehensive Free Trade Area (FTA) agreement between Australia and the UK, including agri-food products, be negotiated? Any new relationship will need to reflect the UK Government's stated preference for a frictionless border with EU27 (particularly on the island of Ireland), the WTO rule-book, and the interests of the UK's farm lobbies, as well as the UK's quest for 'free trade' with the wider international community. Summary at a glance: Trade in agricultural goods will be affected by Brexit (the UK's departure from the European Union) particularly over the UK's border with the Republic of Ireland, and potentially raises new trading possibilities for Australia. As we leave the European Union, we will negotiate a new, comprehensive, bold and ambitious free trade agreement with the EU, but we will also seize the exciting opportunities to strike deals with old friends and new partners. At this summit [the G20 in Hamburg], I held a number of meetings with other world leaders, all of whom made clear their strong desire to forge ambitious new bilateral trading relationships with the UK after Brexit. This included America, Japan, China and India. This morning, I welcomed Australian Prime Minister Turnbull to Downing Street, where he also reiterated his desire for a bold new trading relationship. Theresa May, House of Commons, 10 July 2017.

The growth of agricultural production has now taken on a strategic significance [7][8][9].…”

This article underscores the persistent and sustained initiatives undertaken by the government of the Republic of Uzbekistan to augment the export of agricultural products. Positioned as the primary architects of policies, state organizations play an exclusive role in formulating strategies that not only analyze global trends but also consider market dynamics. This comprehensive approach is geared toward adapting and implementing both new and existing policy reforms in the agricultural market and production sector. The emphasis on continuous analysis of market dynamics reflects a commitment to staying abreast of changes in global demand, supply, and trade patterns. This ongoing assessment enables timely adjustments to policies, ensuring they remain responsive to the evolving landscape of the international agricultural market. The article suggests that the Republic of Uzbekistan recognizes the pivotal role of the agricultural sector in its economic growth and is actively working through its state organizations to position itself strategically in the global market. By adopting adaptive policies and reforms, the competitiveness of its agricultural products and foster sustained growth in agricultural exports.
