These were also periods of declining agricultural prices. These prices increased during the 2000s, there were continuous trade reforms, and many developing countries started to support their agricultural sectors. This paper analyzes trade flows during the past two decades, and tries to measure whether all these developments have changed the trade balances and the share of different groups within the global trade flows. In addition, it looks at the trade balances on food to see the impact of these changes on net food importing countries. In conclusion, unlike the case with manufacturing, developing countries have not been able to increase their export shares in agriculture as significantly. They have maintained their trade shares by primarily expanding exports to other developing countries.CC BY 3.0 IGOAGGREGATE TRADEAGGREGATE TRADE FLOWSAGRICULTURAL COMMODITIESAGRICULTURAL ECONOMICSAGRICULTURAL EXPORTERSAGRICULTURAL GROWTHAGRICULTURAL INCENTIVESAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTAGRICULTURAL POLICIESAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTSAGRICULTURAL TRADEAGRICULTURAL TRADE LIBERALIZATIONAGRICULTUREANIMAL FEEDANIMAL FEEDSBASE YEARBASIC NEEDSBEERBEVERAGESBLOC TRADEBUTTERCEREALSCHANGES IN TRADECHEESECIGARETTESCOCOACOMMODITIESCOMMODITYCOMMODITY PRICECOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGECONFECTIONERYCORNCOUNTRY MARKETSCUSTOMSCUSTOMS UNIONCYCLICAL FLUCTUATIONSDAIRYDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRYEDIBLE NUTSEDIBLE OILSEGGEGGSEXPORT CONTROLSEXPORT GROWTHEXPORT MARKETEXPORT MARKET SHAREEXPORT PERFORMANCEEXPORT RATESEXPORT RESTRICTIONSEXPORT SHAREEXPORT SHARESEXPORT STRUCTURESEXPORTERSEXTERNAL TRADEFINAL GOODSFISH MEALFLOURFOOD EXPORTSFOOD IMPORTSFOOD NEEDSFOOD PRICEFOOD PRICESFOOD PROCESSINGFOOD PRODUCTFOOD PRODUCTIONFOOD PRODUCTSFOOD REQUIREMENTSFOOD SECURITYFRUITFRUITSGDPGLOBAL ECONOMIC PROSPECTSGLOBAL TRADEGLOBAL TRADINGGRAINSGROUPS OF COMMODITIESGROWTH RATESHONEYIMPORT DATAIMPORT SHAREINCOMEINCOME ELASTICITIESINCOME GROUPINCOME GROUPSINDUSTRIAL COUNTRIESINDUSTRIAL COUNTRYINTERMEDIATE GOODSINTERNATIONAL LAWINTERNATIONAL TRADEJUICESLIBERALIZATIONLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMAIZEMARKET PENETRATIONMARKET SHAREMARKET SHARE CHANGESMARKET SHARESMEALMEATSMIDDLE INCOME COUNTRIESMIDDLE INCOME COUNTRYMIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIESNET EXPORTERNET EXPORTERSNET EXPORTSNEW PRODUCTNEW PRODUCTSNONALCOHOLIC BEVERAGESNUTSOIL EXPORTEROIL EXPORTERSOIL PRICEOUTPUTOUTPUT RATIOSOUTPUTSPEANUT OILPREFERENTIAL ACCESSPRICE BEHAVIORPRICE INCREASESPRICE INDEXPRICE INDEXESPRICE LEVELSPRICE SERIESPROCESSED FOODSPROTECTION RATESRUBBERSEAFOODSHARE OF WORLD EXPORTSSHARE OF WORLD TRADESINGLE MARKETSMALL COUNTRIESSMALL ECONOMIESSOFT DRINKSSPECIALIZATIONSPICESSTAPLE FOODSSTARCHSTRUCTURAL CHANGESUGARSUGARSTARIFF ESCALATIONTEATERMS OF TRADETOTAL OUTPUTTRADE AGENDATRADE AMONG DEVELOPING COUNTRIESTRADE BALANCETRADE BALANCESTRADE BARRIERSTRADE BLOCKSTRADE BLOCSTRADE CLASSIFICATIONTRADE DATATRADE DEFICITTRADE EXPANSIONTRADE FLOWSTRADE LIBERALIZATIONTRADE PERFORMANCETRADE POLICIESTRADE POLICYTRADE REFORMTRADE REFORMSTRADE REGIMESTRADE SURPLUSTRADE VALUETRADE VALUESTRADING BLOCSTRADING SYSTEMURUGUAY ROUNDVALUE ADDEDVEGETABLESVOLATILITYWINEWORLD DEVELOPMENT INDICATORSWORLD ECONOMYWORLD MARKETWORLD MARKETSWORLD TRADEWTOWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-5308
