In Mexico, support based on farm input use accounted for 45% of the PSE, while market price support was the second largest component with over one quarter of producer support. Input subsidies in this country are directed predominantly at the lowering of energy, insurance and price hedging costs for farmers, as well as for investments. Amongst these, energy subsidies are the most distorting support, although they are provided within an overall support level which is around 12% of gross farm receipts.
