Abstract

This chapter provides a snapshot of implications for the food security policies in developing countries under the WTO regime. It critically examines the various provisions of the AoA which are creating problems for developing countries in implementing the food security policy without breaching their commitments under the WTO. This chapter discusses various proposals and modalities on food security during the Doha Development Round. The introduction also highlights the price support and food security policies in selected developing countries.
