CSS Economics of Pakistan P-II QUESTION #1702
Question 1
The Agreement on Agriculture (AoA), negotiated under the Uruguay Round and administered by the WTO, has its primary regulatory scope directed at which domain of member countries' policies?
  • Industrial tariff structures and non-tariff barriers to manufactured goods
  • General export licensing and quota allocation regulations
  • Disciplines on domestic agricultural support, export subsidies, and market access commitments✔️
  • None of these
Correct Answer Explanation
The WTO Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) operates across three pillars: (1) Market Access — reduction of tariffs and elimination of non-tariff barriers on agricultural imports; (2) Domestic Support — disciplines on production-distorting subsidies (Amber Box, Blue Box, Green Box); and (3) Export Competition — reduction and elimination of export subsidies. It does not primarily regulate industrial or general export policy.
