stock-taking in March 2001. Negotiations have continued in a second phasesince then, but these are largely informal and the papers presented are not official WTOdocuments, so it is more difficult to follow their course. The only official record is thechairperson’s summaries presented at the formal meetings.1Developing countries do notnecessarily have common interests in these negotiations. At least five differentgroupings can be distinguished.2They include the major agricultural exporters such asBrazil, Argentina, Thailand and other developing country members of the Cairns Group;large low-income countries close to self-sufficiency, such as India; and large andmedium-sized net food-importing countries, such as Egypt, Kenya and Pakistan. Theother categories are the small island states also belonging to the net food importers, suchas Mauritius and Jamaica, most if not all of which benefit from preferential tradearrangements with developed countries, and the least developed countries also with anet food-importing status. Food exporters and importers, and high- and low-potentialfood producers, are affected differently by food trade liberalisation and the introductionof disciplines on domestic agricultural trade and support policies, and would beexpected to pursue different agendas. Indeed, Valdés (2000) has pointed out thatdeveloping countries, in deciding on their strategic interests in these negotiations, mustoften balance the conflicting interests of exporting and import-competing sectors evenwithin their domestic agriculture.
