Synopsis Since the initiation of economic liberalization policies no subject has been so acrimoniously debated as the implications of internationally free trade for Indian agriculture. The debate has been mainly centred around the emerging complexities of export marketing of farm produce. India’s signing of WTO Agreement has further evoked the interest in the likely implications of India’s international trade. In this, the eleventh of a twelve volume monumental study Encyclopaedia of Agricultural Marketing, first of its kind in the world, a modest attempt is made to critically examine the pros and cons of the most probable implications of commitments pertaining to market access, domestic support and export competition in the area of agriculture. Edited by Dr. Jagdish Prasad, a leading agricultural economist having to his credit over 100 articles and many books in the field of agricultural economics, has put together thirty two well researched and comprehensive papers on all important aspects of export marketing. This volume should be of enduring interest of policy makers and planners and also to the development administrators, academics and students of economics and agriculture.
