In general, the price depressing effects of OECD country policies - calculated when support was considerably higher than it is now - were found to be relatively small for most products, with a 50% cut in all forms of support causing cereal and meat prices to be 2-3% higher than they would otherwise be, and prices for oilseeds and oilseed meal to decline slightly. Dairy products were a notable exception, with 50% cuts causing prices to increase by 13%. These findings were broadly in line with those of other studies conducted around that time (OECD, 2006). The OECD study noted that the welfare effects of reform on developing countries were complex and would vary by country. Specifically, competitive suppliers would gain from more open markets and from commodity price increases, while net importers of agricultural commodities would lose in the absence of corresponding increases in the prices of goods they export. Some countries also stood to lose from the erosion of benefits of preferential trading arrangements with OECD countries.
