Enhancing Santa Catarina’s Agriculture Support : Policies for a Competitive, Green, and Inclusive Agrifood Sector

Overview & Synopsis

Efforts to assess agricultural policies globally involve various methodologies and contributions from international bodies like the FAO, WTO, IFPRI, and OECD. These assessments aim to quantify the impact of agricultural policies, focusing on specific regions such as the state government of Santa Catarina. The analysis measures the transfers generated by these policies and their effects on producers, consumers, and the agricultural sector. It specifically examines the transfers from Santa Catarina's policies, excluding national policies, though both could be complementary. The study estimates the amount and significance of these transfers within the producer's gross income, facilitating comparisons over time and with other economies. This approach helps understand the economic impact of regional agricultural policies and their role in the broader economic context.
