Abstract
Traditionally, the G20 countries are the developing countries’ largest trade partners with substantial exports to the G20 markets. However, recently, the developing countries’ exports, especially agri-food, have plummeted. This in part is due to the G20 market access conditions which impacted developing countries’ agri-food competitiveness, food security and the attainment of sustainable economic growth. Thus, this policy brief enunciates the consequences of the G20 agricultural and trade policies on developing countries’ agri-food exports. This policy brief proposes that the developed countries in the G20 modify their trade policy measures, particularly the NTMs, to ensure ‘fair competitive’ conditions for developing and least-developed countries’ exporters in their domestic and export markets; reduce substantially their domestic agri-food distortion policies than their giving ‘Aid for Trade’. The developing countries should increase investments in quality infrastructure, science and technology to enhance modern technology adoption; initiate domestic policies that promote quality exports and ensure economies of scale and size in the agro-industry to improve commodities’ competitiveness.
