Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agriculture remains one of the most contentious issues in the ongoing negotiations of the World Trade Organization, with serious implications for food security and the livelihood of farmers in the developing world. This dissertation examines the various research papers related to this study to understand the topic in depth. Then focused on GATT which is a multi-lateral agreement regulating international trade and how WTO was formed as a successor of GATT. The functions and working of WTO have also been studied. As Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) was a very crucial factor for developing countries, pursued the general agricultural scenario in developing countries especially India. Then how India is facing issues related to AOA and what proposals India has been offering with respect to those issues were studied. Then TFA and Bali Package were also studied. Various components of Bali Package were analyzed to find the issues, which other member countries could face. The dissertation presented the reasons for India blocking the WTO and the objections which India had. The study emphasized the impact of this disapproval and benefits pursuant to disapproval; on India’s commodity market, revenue of farmers, food prices of consumers, overall negative effects of signing TFA, and why blocking TFA was a good decision and the way-ahead. Finally, it supports the narrative of increasing developing country bargaining in the WTO and shows that the Indian representatives bolster their arguments by articulating them as being in the interest of the developing world in general and India’s success in making U.S. agree for permanent peace clause.

The present paper analyses the Indian concerns in this respect. It is found that the negative impact of WTO on agricultural commodities exports as it was thought is not a valid case for India. India’s agricultural items have got a due respect in international market. Not only the quantity of export has increased but also there is improvement in the prices of agricultural items. Non traditional agricultural items have got greater market access and better prices followed by traditional items and items of future potential.

Book excerpt: A mini-Ministerial negotiation meeting at WTO was held on July 21-29, 2008 at Geneva to achieve a breakthrough in Doha round collapsed. The ongoing debate over agricultural trade liberalization focuses on how best to eliminate policy distortions that arise from price supports, producer subsidies, import protection and export subsidies. Although the most recent attempts to reach an agreement under the Doha Development Agenda (DDA) have been unsuccessful to date, the push for greater trade liberalization is unrelenting so it seems that further reform of the world agriculture market is inevitable.

The book is useful for the students and researchers of economics, agricultural marketing, commerce, business administration and law. The book is also worthwhile to: policymakers, planners, trade development agencies, opinion makers, negotiators, practitioners and all those interested in the elimination of rural poverty and welfare of Indian farmers in enriching their understanding of the impact of WTO on pattern of world farm trade, India's comparative advantage in farm trade, intricacies of the WTO rules and present state of Indian agriculture vis-avis WTO obligations.
