Descripción
This article summarizes findings from a recent agricultural policy study examining the
impacts of trade liberalization and removal of feed ingredient subsidies in Tunisia. A linear
programming model was used to simulate private sector response to these policy changes.
Increased feedgrain prices result from subsidy removal but effects are lessened if subsidy
removal is coupled with trade liberalization. Induced long-term effects are improved
efficiency in production of feedgrains, feedgrain substitutes, and livestock.
