This policy paper focuses on the
incentive framework for Pakistani agriculture, with emphasis
on trade and price policies. It first presents a synthesis
of major trends in the performance of the sector and
analyzes Pakistan's extraordinarily complex, opaque and
discretionary, and continually-changing trade regime. It
presents a disaggregated analysis of the border measures for
the selected products (trade and price interventions vary by
product), and estimates the joint effect of trade and
procurement policies on farm prices, captured by direct
price comparison. It concludes by providing policy
recommendations emphasizing on the revision of trade regime
to eliminate quantitative restrictions and to modify tariffs
in the direction of greater equality, a positive, moderate
and uniform tariff on imports across the board as the only
border measure for import competing products.
