OECD: Government Support to Agriculture Topped $950 Billion in 2025
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has published a report on agricultural policy. It says global government support to the sector exceeded $950 billion in 2025.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), a body of advanced economies that analyses economic policy, launched a report on Monday, November 2, titled Agricultural Policy Monitoring and Evaluation 2026. The Irish farming news site Agriland.ie reported on it.
More frequent shocks for the sector
The report starts from the finding that agriculture is facing global shocks that are more frequent and interconnected, and that these shocks have a growing economic impact.
Government support has risen
Against this backdrop, government support to agriculture worldwide has increased. In 2025 it exceeded $950 billion, nearly 15% more than in 2023.
The OECD report examines how governments respond to crises in the sector. The source text is truncated at this point, so further details of the report's specific findings and recommendations are not available. The article's headline asks whether governments should take a long-term approach to tackling agricultural crises.
