The primary focus is on the three “ pillars ” of the Uruguay Round agreement — domestic support, market access, and export competition. The framework for a final agreement was finalized in July 2004, it contains few details on modalities (e.g., the formula to be used for reductions in tariffs/increases in tariff- rate quotas, quantitative limitations on domestic support, and the schedule for the elimination of export subsidies) The framework for a final agreement was finalized in July 2004, it contains few details on modalities (e.g., the formula to be used for reductions in tariffs/increases in tariff- rate quotas, quantitative limitations on domestic support, and the schedule for the elimination of export subsidies) Introduction: Doha Agenda

3 Detailed proposals on a number of these issues were put forward in October 2005 by the European Union and the United States, in addition to the G10 and G20 groups of countries. Detailed proposals on a number of these issues were put forward in October 2005 by the European Union and the United States, in addition to the G10 and G20 groups of countries. In this paper we analyzed the implications of the provisions of a Doha agreement on agricultural markets in Sudan. More specifically, the impact of the US, EU, and G20 proposals on agricultural markets in Sudan was analyzed.

5 Sudan is not a currently member of the WTO although it has been in the accession process since 1994 Sudan is not a currently member of the WTO although it has been in the accession process since 1994 Sudan undertake reforms of its all commercial laws to bring all its trade- related laws, regulations and procedures into conformity with WTO requirements. Sudan undertake reforms of its all commercial laws to bring all its trade- related laws, regulations and procedures into conformity with WTO requirements. Assuming that Sudan continues outside of WTO membership, its trade policies will not be directly affected by a Doha agreement. But Sudan could be affected significantly by changes in global agricultural markets.

But Sudan could be affected significantly by changes in global agricultural markets.

6 Methodology The analysis is based on the Partial Equilibrium Agricultural Trade Simulator (PEATSim) developed by the Penn State University in collaboration with the Economic Research Service of the U.S. Department. The analysis is based on the Partial Equilibrium Agricultural Trade Simulator (PEATSim) developed by the Penn State University in collaboration with the Economic Research Service of the U.S. Department. The model is dynamic, multi-country, multi- commodity covers 35 of the major traded agricultural commodities and contains a detailed representation of markets and policies in twelve countries/regions that are particularly significant for world agricultural trade The model is dynamic, multi-country, multi- commodity covers 35 of the major traded agricultural commodities and contains a detailed representation of markets and policies in twelve countries/regions that are particularly significant for world agricultural trade Sudan was included in the model to depict the potential impact of trade liberalization on its agriculture. Sudan was included in the model to depict the potential impact of trade liberalization on its agriculture.

7 Production and/or consumption of 15 of the 35 products in PEATSim are negligible in Sudan: soybeans, soybean oil, soybean meal, sunflowerseed oil, sunflowerseed meal, rapeseed, rapeseed oil, rapeseed meal, pork, butter, cheese, nonfat dry milk, whole dry milk, and other dairy products Production and/or consumption of 15 of the 35 products in PEATSim are negligible in Sudan: soybeans, soybean oil, soybean meal, sunflowerseed oil, sunflowerseed meal, rapeseed, rapeseed oil, rapeseed meal, pork, butter, cheese, nonfat dry milk, whole dry milk, and other dairy products

8 Treatment of Trade Raw milk, fluid milk, and other dairy products are treated as non-traded commodities. The other 32 commodities are traded internationally Raw milk, fluid milk, and other dairy products are treated as non-traded commodities. The other 32 commodities are traded internationally The model is non-spatial, meaning that it does not distinguish a region ’ s imports by their source or a region ’ s exports by their destination. The model is non-spatial, meaning that it does not distinguish a region ’ s imports by their source or a region ’ s exports by their destination.

9 Policy Coverage The model incorporates a wide range of domestic and border policies in agriculture The model incorporates a wide range of domestic and border policies in agriculture The core set of policies for all countries includes both specific and ad valorem import tariffs, tariff-rate quotas (TRQs), and producer and consumer subsidies. The core set of policies for all countries includes both specific and ad valorem import tariffs, tariff-rate quotas (TRQs), and producer and consumer subsidies. Other types of domestic policies and programs are also included. For example for the EU the model includes intervention prices, variable import levies, compensatory payments, acreage set- asides, base area bounds.

10 Model Structure and Parameters a reduced-form economic model a reduced-form economic model The behavioral equations in the model are largely constant-elasticity in nature The behavioral equations in the model are largely constant-elasticity in nature The structure of the behavioral equations is the same for all countries in the model The structure of the behavioral equations is the same for all countries in the model The model includes five types of consumption activities: food/consumer demand, feed demand, crush demand, dairy processing demand, and other use demand. The model includes five types of consumption activities: food/consumer demand, feed demand, crush demand, dairy processing demand, and other use demand. A number of restrictions were imposed on the model's elasticities to ensure that requirements of economic theory are satisfied at the baseline values for the data A number of restrictions were imposed on the model's elasticities to ensure that requirements of economic theory are satisfied at the baseline values for the data

11 WTO Scenario The impact of US, EU, and G20 proposals (on market access, export subsidies and domestic support) on agricultural market of Sudan was analyzed. The impact of US, EU, and G20 proposals (on market access, export subsidies and domestic support) on agricultural market of Sudan was analyzed. Market Access - The tariff cuts for the US, EU, and G20 proposals as they are simulated in this scenario are presented in the next table: Market Access - The tariff cuts for the US, EU, and G20 proposals as they are simulated in this scenario are presented in the next table:

13 Export Competition - The three proposals analyzed include the elimination of export subsidies Export Competition - The three proposals analyzed include the elimination of export subsidies Domestic Support – For the purposes of this paper, the EU ’ s Single Farm Payment (SFP) and US direct payments are assumed to remain in the Green Box. The PEATSim model also assumes that these payments have no impacts on production.

19 Conclusion As long as Sudan is not a member of the WTO, the major effect of global agricultural trade liberalization facing it is higher world prices and therefore higher domestic prices As long as Sudan is not a member of the WTO, the major effect of global agricultural trade liberalization facing it is higher world prices and therefore higher domestic prices Sudan ’ s agricultural producers will benefit from higher prices but consumers will be negatively affected Sudan ’ s agricultural producers will benefit from higher prices but consumers will be negatively affected Production and exports of major agricultural commodities are projected to increase under the US, EU, and G20 proposals Production and exports of major agricultural commodities are projected to increase under the US, EU, and G20 proposals
