Producer Support Estimate (PSE)

Press Release
In the OECD area, support to producers stood at $258.6 billion (EUR 201.2 billion) in 2012. Support represented 19% of farm receipts in the OECD, up from 18% in 2011. The report points to sharp divergences behind these figures, with the countries that offer farmers the highest levels of support recording increases (Japan 56%, Korea 54%, Norway 63% and Switzerland 57%) while relatively low-support countries fell further (Israel 11%, Mexico 12%, United States 7%). Support remained very low in others (Australia 3%, Chile 3%, New Zealand 1%).
