| Abstract | Approximately 55 percent of food and 60 percent of non-food agricultural exports of the developing countries are sold in industrial country markets. Market access is therefore important. While the developing countries have been able to increase the market penetration of their manufactured exports in industrial countries at a remarkable rate of approximately 8 percent in the 1970s, market penetration in agricultural commodities has generally been less successful. From 1970 to 1980 the developing countries were able to increase their market penetration in processed agricultural commodities from 3.5 to 3.7 percent, which amounts to an average annual increase of only 0.6 percent. In basic agricultural products like sugar, maize, tomatoes and beef, they even incurred losses in their market share that corresponded to an increase in the degree of self-sufficiency of the industrial countries, in particular the European Community. |
