Summary

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement contains important provisions of direct relevance for agricultural trade and will therefore have important implications for rural economies, the agri-food sector, food security and nutrition in the member countries. Similar to other sectors, for agriculture the agreement includes an ambitious and comprehensive package that goes beyond eliminating tariffs and traditional non-tariff barriers to trade in goods and services, which warrants a thorough analysis of the sectoral effects and their implications for different stakeholders, including agricultural producers.
