BARCHART Staatliche Unterstützung landwirtscahftlicher Betriebe – OECD Cross Section
Kleinvieh macht auch Mist: 2012 ist die staatliche Unterstützung für Landwirtschaft vielerorts erstmals seit langem wieder angestiegen. Die Schweiz ist eines der Länder, in denen Agrarbetriebe den größten Teil ihrer Einkünfte aus staatlichen Maßnahmen beziehen.

to agriculture subsidies BARCHART Public spending on agriculture is lowest in the agriculture-based countries, while their share of agriculture in GDP is highest - Agricultural GDP/GDP Public spending on agriculture/agricultural GDP – World Development Report (2008)
Figure 4
Source: Fan, forthcoming.
Yet agriculture has been vastly underused
for development. Parallel to these successes
are numerous failures to use agriculture
for development. Many agriculturebased
countries still display anemic per
capita agricultural growth and little structural
transformation (a declining share of
agriculture in GDP and a rising share of
industry and services as GDP per capita
rises). The same applies to vast areas within
countries of all types. Rapid population
growth, declining farm size, falling soil fertility,
and missed opportunities for income
diversifi cation and migration create distress
as the powers of agriculture for development
remain fallow. Policies that excessively tax
agriculture and underinvest in agriculture
are to blame, refl ecting a political economy
in which urban interests have the upper
hand. Compared with successful transforming
countries when they still had a high
share of agriculture in GDP, the agriculturebased
countries have very low public spending
in agriculture as a share of their agricultural
GDP (4 percent in the agriculture-based
countries in 2004 compared with 10 percent
in 1980 in the transforming countries, fi gure
4). The pressures of recurrent food crises
also tilt public budgets and donor priorities
toward direct provision of food rather
than investments in growth and achieving
food security through rising incomes.
Where women are the majority of smallholder
farmers, failure to release their full
potential in agriculture is a contributing
factor to low growth and food insecurity.

DATA
DATA Distortions to Agricultural Incentives: The World Bank recently completed a big data compilation exercise for Distortions to Agricultural Incentives, with a team of researchers headed by Kym Anderson providing various Estimates of Distortions to Agricultural Incentives (1955-2007). A core database provides data for Nominal Rates of Assistance to producers (NRAs), together with a set of Consumer Tax Equivalents (CTEs), for farm products and a set of Relative Rates of Assistance to farmers in 75 focus countries. Note that the variable 'border price' (bp) does however not represent the... how can I say this... 'border price', but a hypothetical producer price in the absence of distortions (domestic producer price divided by (1+NRA) and expressed in USD). The border price (fob) is not contained in the main datafile but can be found in the individual country spreadsheet (rows 37-39 for primary products, or 44-46 for lightly processed products). I am grateful to Kym Anderson and Ernesto Valenzuela for clarification; they also point to an alternative data reporter at Adelaide University where they are both based.
