Study On Agricultural Domestic Support Rules Of Doha Round Agricultural Negotiations

Since China joined World Trade Organization on December 11th 2001, the relation between the economy of China and the international market has been closer, the agriculture of China is faced with fiercer competitive pressure in the international agricultural market. As China has used the mechanism of'promoting and developing agricultural by industry' to instruct economy, and financial investment and economic policies focused more on industry, the development of agriculture and industry is increasingly unbalanced, the gap between city and countryside and that of the rich and poor is dramatically enlarged.Some problems, such as the competitiveness of agriculture as a whole is insufficient, the income of farmers has difficulty increasing, the economy in the countryside has lagged, the ecotope in the countryside deteriorated, begin to restrict the cycling of the whole social economic system. The comparative hysteresis of the development of agriculture has become the main reason causing inadequate domestic demand and over dependance on export. Domestic labour cost keeps rising and land is becoming scarce gradually. Under such circumstance, the most primary issues are to make industry nourish agriculture effectively and make the support from city effective, to fully propel the development in countryside, to improve the production and living conditions, to realize the modernization, intensification and sustainable development. With the trend of economic globalization and the enhanced market-oriented multi-lateral trade system, it will have profound impact on the development of domestic agriculture if the domestic support policies on agricultural products within WTO are coordinated and the results in the new round of negotiation are favorable for the agriculture of China.This article elaborates on the source and the stipulations of the domestic support, introduces the negotiation progress of domestic support policies on agriculture and the main contradiction and divergence in Doha round from the overall perception. Under the Doha round agriculture negotiation background, this article analyzes from the perspective of American, Japanese, European Union, Australian, Indian and uses the OECD appraisal model to analyze agricultural support level comparatively in China and these five countries, and particularly analyzes the new domestic policies on agriculture adopted in recent years. Pointing out that on the present stage, the target of domestic agricultural subsidy is a short-term support policy, related laws and regulations are imperfect; the operation of agricultural subsidy management system is inefficient, the necessary mechanism is imperfect, and the agricultural subsidy needs to be strengthened on the base of the goal of domestic supportive policies. According to the above problems, this paper puts forward the corresponding policy proposals.
