It is less clear howthe 50 countries identified by the UN as‘Least Developed Countries’ (LDCs), which have been subject tospecial consideration in international trade negotiations, wouldfare. Would they lose their preferential trade access to theOECD markets and, if so, would these losses exceed the potentialgains from liberalized trade? Or would low-income countriesthat currently receive high prices for commodities such as sugarin some OECD-country markets be out-competed by countriessuch as Brazil in a liberalized market? More generally, wouldany benefits from liberalized agricultural trade be captured bymiddle-income countries with good domestic infrastructure andwell-functioning markets, leaving few or no economic benefits tothe LDCs? www.springer.comSchool Health, Nutrition, and Education for All:Levelling the Playing FieldJukes MCH, Drake LJ, Bundy DAPThis book is aimed at a wide audience;from policy-makers to implementers.
