Abstract

Most of Asia’s poor still live in rural areas and a high proportion are involved in direct agricultural production. One policy approach to this enduring social problem of rural poverty is to protect the agricultural sector against competition from imported agricultural products. Within Asia, Japan and Korea have adopted highly protectionist agricultural policies and several other developing Asian countries show signs of moving in a similar direction. India’s formal agricultural policies are very protectionist, but at present the outcome of these policies is on balance about neutral in relation to the manufacturing and the services sectors.
