The effect of macroeconomic trade and price policies on agricultural development. A. Summary
The central theme is the analysis of the way variations in agricultural growth interact with the development of the rest of the economy. Consequently, their considerations should focus on the means of interating the sectoral applications of general policies and on the effect this would have on the development of the agricultural sector. The document highlights that the analysis is limited to the behavior of an agricultural development policy in a given external time frame. In this context, the exchange rate and all related to it plays a central part in determining profitability of production in the agricultural sector, especially in relation to tradeable activities that are sensitive to international prices, exchange rates and trade policy (According to some estimates, in the cases of Argentina, Colombia and Chile, tradables account for approximately two thirds of agricultural activities).
