Abstract
The share of developing countries in world exports of agricultural products has declined sharply over the last 15 years. How far is this decline the result of factors beyond anyone’s control or of policies in the industrial nations or of policies in the developing countries themselves? A rough assignment of causes is the modest objective of this paper.
