Description
Summary:This article analyzes the possibilities and characteristics of an&lt;br /&gt;agricultural trade policy for transition, that is, of a policy which&lt;br /&gt;would allow a transition from an agriculture which is protected and isolated from international price signals to an open agriculture capable of competing in the world market. Although trade policy affects all agricultural activity, the emphasis is placed on importable products, which were very protected over several decades and on which the adverse effects of the trade opening have fallen.<br>En este artículo se analizan las probabilidades y características de una política comercial agrícola de transición, es decir, de una política que permita pasar de una agricultura protegida y aislada de las señales de precios internacionales a una agricultura abierta capaz de competir en el mercado mundial. Aunque la política comercial afecta al conjunto de actividad agrícola, el énfasis se centra en los productos importables, que estuvieron protegidos durante varias décadas y sobre los que recayeron los efectos adversos de la apertura comercial.
