这些措施对农产品贸易和农业生产不会产生或仅有微小的扭曲影响,成员方无须承担约束和削减义务。

“绿箱”措施主要包括:一般农业服务支出,如农业科研、病虫害控制、培训、推广和咨询服务、检验服务、农产品市场促销服务、农业基础设施建设等;粮食安全储备补贴;粮食援助补贴;与生产不挂钩的收入补贴;收入保险计划;自然灾害救济补贴;农业生产者退休或转业补贴;农业资源储备补贴;农业结构调整投资补贴;农业环境保护补贴;落后地区援助补贴等。

“黄箱”措施是指,政府对农产品的直接干预和补贴,包括对种子、肥料、灌溉等农业投入品的补贴,对农产品营销贷款的补贴等。

这些措施对农产品贸易产生扭曲,成员方须承担约束和削减义务。

通常用综合支持量来衡量“黄箱”补贴的大小。

综合支持量是指,为支持农产品生产者而提供给某种农产品,或为支持广大农业生产者而提供给非特定产品的年支持水平,一般用货币单位表示。

《农业协议》规定,自1995年开始,以1986-1988年为基准期,发达成员在6年内逐步将综合支持量削减20%,发展中成员在10年内逐步削减13%。

对于发展中成员,一些“黄箱”措施被列入免予削减的范围。

主要包括农业投资补贴,对低收入或资源贫乏地区生产者提供的农业投入品补贴,为鼓励生产者不生产违禁麻醉作物而提供的支持等。
