The results were perhaps obvious: more people live from agriculture in the developing world than from manufacturing, so agricultural liberalization must be high on the agenda. But genuinely beneficial agricultural reform would need to go further than merely transforming export subsidies into other types of subsidies, because many supposedly non-distorting subsidies lead to more output, which hurts producers in developing countries by lowering prices.
结果也许再明显不过：发展中世界依赖农业生存的人远远多于制造业，因此农业自由化必须提上议事日程。但真正有益的农业改革不应仅仅停留在出口补贴向其它补贴的转化，因为很多公认的非扭曲性补贴会导致农产品产量增加，造成价格下跌而伤害发展中世界的农民。
